E520 - HDMI Output not working on Samsung TV - although works on other devices

Laptop does not recognise TV
I know there are a number of threads with similar questions, I have been through a number of them, however have not come across a solution that works.
I have a ThinkPad E520 running Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition x64
The Laptop has two Graphics adapters
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Drive - 9.17.10.2867) - I have recently reverted back from the latest Intel driver to the latest Lenovo
AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series (Driver - 13.251.9001.1001) - latest on AMD website
The TV is a Samsung 5 Series 5200 58 inch
We use the TV at work for presentations and demo etc
At my desk extend my desktop to a Philips monitor via HDMI and have no problems at all, I also using with HD TV at home, so HDMI port is ok.  Other laptops us the TV fine, so nothing wrong there either.
Things I have tried
The obvious 'Windows key + P' extended, duplicated, restarted and tried again
Did the same as above using screen resolution page - TV is not detected, tried hitting detect - nothing
Disabling AMD adapter
Uninstalling Intel HD and reinstalling latest INTEL drivers with HDMI output plugged in
Uninstalling Intel HD and reinstalling latest LENOVO drivers with HDMI output plugged in (as suggested in other posts)
Tried different HDMI cables, using HDMI input 1 and 2 in the TV
Initially you may think its the TV, however we have a number of Lenovo E530's they all work, the problem only exists with the E520's with the switchable graphics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem solved and set for Christmas call around.
Merry Christmas everyone

  • HDMI output not working MACBOOK Pro (Oct 2014)

    I am trying to get another screen connected to my MBP, I have tried numerous screens and cables to achieve this, but I can not get it to work.
    Is there a on/off or disable HDMI output on the MBP?
    I have used various screen, which i know work. And a HDMI to DVI and HDMI to HDMI cables to screens . I know the cable and screens work as I use them at work on a daily basis.
    All I get is "No signal connected".
    Is there any diagnostics or tests I can do?

  • HDMI output not working with AT 200 under ICS

    Hello,
    I connected the HDMI output to a Sony KDL 32 E 5500. It simply does not work.
    The same TV HDMI input works fine with a DVD player.
    The AT 200 tablet is under ICS (upgrade in France).
    I tried both HDMI configurations : full screen and video window.
    Should I send it back for repair ?

    Hi
    There are two outputs: Mirror and video area only.
    Mirror:
    External device copies the image on the tablet screen
    Video area only:
    The external display device shows the playback when open a multimedia
    But You should firstly check the Android Settings:
    Under the option Screen you will find the option HDMIO video mode
    Tap this to switch between the HDMI video output mode.
    You could also try to connect the HDMI device under following conditions:
    - Tablet is turned on
    - Tablet is completely turned off
    - when you connect TV or external monitor to HDMI port, then display output is set to HDMI
    - when you plug and replug the cable, wait at least 5 sec before you replug the HDMI cable.

  • HDMI output not working since firmware upgrade

    I would appreciate troubleshooting tips for getting the HDMI output to work. I just tried it recently for the first time in a long while, approximately 4 weeks after doing the firmware update to 2.2. When I did it before, plugging in the HDMI cable would automatically start output to my HD TV. Now that is no longer the case. Changing the HDMI output from "Auto" to "720p" does not make a difference either.
    Otherwise, everything works well and I've been satisfied with my Creative 7 to date. I have installed several apps so it could be that there is a conflict and nothing related to the firmware upgrade.
    Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well I've received my refurbished device for about a week now. The HDMI still doesn't work either with Zii Video or a 3rd party app MoboPlayer. ?I am tempted to reinstall the firmware upgrade again. Is it ok to try this or is it only a one time attempt?
    Perhaps this should be a separate thread but are any of the "Phone 2 SD" apps compatible with the Ziio 7? Whenever I use the "Move to SD card" option, there is still no program moved to the external SD card. ?I have a Ziio 7 with 6 GB of memory as well as a 6GB micro SD card. ?My memory settings are:
    - SD Card: total space - 5.43GB; Available space - 5.43GB
    - Device media storage: Total space - 2.48GB; Available Space - 2.3 GB
    - System storage: Total Space - .97 GB; Available space - .59GB
    In Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the "On SD Card" tab lists several programs lists several apps but none of them are actually on the external SD card.

  • HDMI output not working on HP Pavilion 15

    Hi guys, i am new here on HP Forum.
    My problems started when i got my new laptop and i HATED windows 8.
    So a friend of mine had a disc with Windows 7 on it.
    After the installation nothing worked, Not wlan, USB, HDMI and so on,
    I serched for days for new drivers and found the most of them on HPs site.
    But i have not been abled to find any working driver for my HDMI output.
    Can you guys help me with that?

    Hi:
    The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the graphics driver from AMD if you have not already done so.
    Your notebook is not supported by HP for W7, and especially not supported for 32 bit operating systems.
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2032
    As a last resort, try manually installing the W7 x64 graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page (sp66999).
    I explored the driver folder, and there are 32 bit drivers included in that file.

  • HDMI Output Not Working on Lenovo B540

    Yesterday morning the HDMI output on the back of our Lenovo B540 stopped working all of a sudden. I have a projector as a secondary monitor that I use for media applications which connects via a SVGA to HDMI converter which has worked flawlessly for months until yesterday.  My first inclination was the converter but after some troubleshooting I have determined that the issue is somewhere in the Lenovo AIO system.  Below are the steps I followed to make my determination:
    1. Tried connecting Lenovo to another known-good monitor and nothing.  The display property picks up the monitor's attributes like make and model and even resolution but no display.
    2. Plugged projector into another computer WITHOUT converter and it WORKED.
    3. Plugged in project into the same computer that I used in step 2 above WITH converter and it still WORKED.
    Steps taken to resolve (without success yet):
    1. Updated Intel HD Graphics display driver to 10.18
    2. Installed latest graphics chipset update from another forum post I found suggesting that might be the issue.
    3. Changing "Source Select" from bottom right hand corner of system (icon with arrows forming circle) but it ONLY shows "PC" option.  Not sure if that's the issue or not, but wanted to mention it.
    My next step is to completely uninstall the display driver and try seeing if second monitor shows display.
    My last step which I would like to avoid if all possible is a factory reset as I have many applications installed that I would like to avoid reinstalling if at all possible.
    Any further assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.  I feel like it's a driver/configuration issue, but I'm not finding it  yet.

    I wanted to reply that I just discovered that my Lenovo AIO no longer likes my converter.  I'm not sure why as I have proven that it works by using it on another device.  The other device is a laptop running Windows 7 Pro.
    On a haunch, I plugged in my HDMI TV which has a native HDMI connection and it WORKED.  So, I suppose I'm back to the drawing board and this is indeed not a Lenovo hardware issue.
    Does anyone know of any issues with using a HDMI to VGA converter on a Lenovo B540 AIO?  Link below:

    I have the one above but I just noticed there is a HD2VGAE which I'm not sure what the difference is.
    Thanks!

  • HDMI output not working on my Satellite L500

    The HDMI output on my Satellite L500 seems to have stopped working in the past few months.
    I've tried different cables but it is still not working.
    Any ideas?

    When you press FN+F5 key combination while notebook is not connected with HDMI cable, you will see one option (LCD) only. When you connect HDMI cable can you see other additional options like LCD, LCD+HDMI, HDMI and so on?
    Please be also sure that right HDMI port on your TV is enabled.
    By the way: which OS do you use?

  • Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop HDMI Output Not Working

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop and the HDMI Output is no longer working on my Toshiba TV. The TV does not recognize that anything is connected and the laptop doesn't recognize the TV as a display option. I have used this laptop many times in the past to connect to my TV with an HDMI cable and it worked fine. It has been a few months since I tried it but it is no longer working. Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Thanks

  • HDMI Output not work on Encore Tablet

    Hi guys,
    First post and a new user of the Toshiba Encore.
    Some background - I had a faulty Encore previously, but it would connect to my HDMI screen. The replacement, now 3 weeks old, works perfectly, except yesterday I tried HDMI out for sound (to an HDMI amplifier) but nothing. And then I decided to see if it would do HDMI out video - and nothing.
    I plugged in the same cable that worked on the faulty tablet and to the same screen. I hit the devices charm and duplicated (and even tried extending) the screen. Nothing. I tried both HDMI ports on the screen. Nothing.
    The last (faulty) tablet would make the sound that a new device was installed when I plugged HDMI in. This one makes no sounds. It's like the HDMI port isn't connected at all.
    What advice would you give? I have downloaded all BIOS and Windows updates. I used the Intel update tool and everything is current. So what could I try to troubleshoot to get this to go?
    Will happily provide more info if needed.
    Cheers

    This HDMI connection still does not work. It only shows on the TV not on both. I have spoken to Toshiba Software and they have a fix which are some special tools at a one off charge of £84. They say the problem is to do with the HDMI only sending at 30 Hz and the TV being at 60Hz. They also say the fix will provide mirroring as the resolution of the TV and Encore are not compatible. As I only paid £177 for Encore I am reluctant to pay such a high amount. They also advised that you must be connected with the mains adaptor because the battery is not powerful enough to sustain the signal. My laptop works fine and I have a new HDMI cable for Encore.
    Any further thoughts? 

  • Hdmi output not found under playback in the control panel

    I am trying to get sound to go through my tv with my HDMI cable.  I looked in the control panel under sound - playback.  I do not see the option of the hdmi output.  I have right clicked on the speaker and clicked disabled and it still does not come up.
    I have idt high definition audio codec driver on my computer.  Is it compatible?
    I have also tried to connect an rca cable to the headphone jack and hook it to the tv like that and sound still didn't work?
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi again tfinley,
    It is good to hear back from you!
    Since you have updated all of the original drivers on your system, and your notebook still does not display an HDMI audio option, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when this option was available. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    I downloaded a TV show and am unable to get audio from my pc to the TV monitor using HDMI output.  It worked fine yesterday with the same tv show download.  Video/Audio is ok to my pc and video is getting to tv monitor.  Everything is the same but, can't find the audio. This is my first time doing a iTunes download so any help is appreciated by this rookie.
