I have an old PC about 5-Years Old. The display adapter is Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset. The Screen resolutions vary between 800x600 pixels to 1440x900 pixels. My PC has a VGA port only.

I have a LG 42" LED TV with 1080p resolution and HDMI port (no VGA port).

I am using a HDMI to VGA adapter along with a VGA cable to connect my PC with the TV.

Now the TV is always displaying 'No Signal'.

Please suggest any possible way to get the PC display on the TV.

Thanks.

The problem your having is because the VGA is an analog signal while the HDMI is digital..... Square peg in a round whole problem. They do make convertors to do what you want and I'll send a link to help, but in all honesty, I wanted to do the same kinda thing a while back and found the convertor as or more expensive than a new tv. Heres th link, https://www.futureplc.com/
Another opption, depending on if your set up (pc) can handel it, might look into a cheap DVI output video card. Don't know how extream the graphic output your doing is, but 5 year old pc vs todays mid/ upper low end video cards..... I'd bet your cup will bottle neck before the card.
