I want to watch films, YouTube etc on my large TV screen. However my laptop has a VGA port, and the TV an HDMI port.
I eventually got the set up working perfectly, with a VGA/HDMI adapter, with a built in usb for power and audio. However, this was short lived. The next day I set it up again, exactly as before, and nothing works. As soon as I now insert the VGA cable from the adapter, into the laptop, the screen goes black. On the tv screen I get a message saying there is 'NO SIGNAL'
I have checked out the laptop ports & find that if I connect an old monitor to the laptop, with a VGA to VGA cable it works perfectly.
Have I missed the obvious when setting up with the adapter, that I missed second time around?
