IdeaCentre A310 - HDMI in with PC

Hello,
supports the A310 HDMI IN from PC or is the HDMI not compliant with PC output, f.e. 32bit colors?
My PC outputs a grafik stream with 1920x1080px and tehre is a 2 cm border on the display. It doesn't change when I change the resolution at my pc / HDMI IN.
Regards

I am running Windows 8, which came with the system. I decided to "Remove everything and reinstall Windows" and this is the specs that I see now. Windows 8, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz, 6.00 GB RAM, 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
By chance I found out that if I force my screen to sit up right, by pushing the backbone of the screen backwards, the noise becomes smaller. I also now changed my refresh rate to 50Hz to make the noise a little bit lower in tone. I was hoping that this is fixable with an update with graphics card or with a lenovo diagnostic software, but I could not find anything online similar to it. The problem still exists, although now it is more acceptable. Still hope that it can be solved.
Thank you very much for replying!

IdeaCentre K450 "no signal" with monitors (VGA and HDMI)

I purchased a K450 (from the lenovo online outlet, refurbished) in December. I got an Acer H226HQL 21.5" monitor at the same time, and set up everything at once. I used the VGA cable to connect the monitor. Everything was working perfectly until a couple weeks ago. I went to wake up the computer and the monitor remained black. I pressed the power button to turn it off completely and turn it on again, "no signal" stil on the monitor. I've tried using the HDMI cable with the acer and the 8 year old monitor from my last desktop (with VGA cable) and still no signal. Checked the power strip, it's working fine. I'm at a loss!
I did run updates on firmware for everything, including the graphics, when I set up the computer. I'd check on the firmware for the graphics card, but it's hard to without a working monitor. Also, not sure if it's relevant at all, but it was running windows 8.1.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thank you!!
Solved!

Problems like waking up from sleepmode, black screen and other problems start appear after MS released their January 2014 updates. Also timing what you say your problem began make sense to January updates. Check also this topic:

Ideacentre A310 Windows 8 Freezing

Hello,
i have upgraded my Ideacentre A310 to Windows 8 and it is contantly freezing, I have installed the Windows 8 drivers for the sound and video card from the manufacturer.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Terry

hi tsandford,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If the IdeaCentre A310 freezes up after you upgraded to Windows 8, try to do the following:
1. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking - if the PC doesn't freezes up, there's probably an applilcation on the background that's causing the unit to freeze up on normal mode. To isolate this, you need to perform a clean boot.
2. If the PC still freezes up even on Safe Mode with Networking, there's probably a problem with the HDD. To verify this, try to use UltimateBootCD (www.ultimatebootcd.com) for the diagnostics. Details below:
a. Download the the UBCD ISO (www.ultimatebootcd.com)
b. Burn the ISO using imgburn
c. Insert the CD that you just created into the defective computer and reboot
d. Upon reboot, continuously press F12 and boot from the ODD/CD-DVD
To burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive, follow this guide
Note:
If you find any errors, you will need to change the HDD. If don't have a recovery or restore disc, you can obtain one by contacting the Lenovo Technical Suport. Support phone list here.
3. Clean install Windows 8 into the machine (refer to this guide)
Hope this helps

Keyboard for Ideacentre A310 and Ubuntu

Hi
The Ideacentre A310 comes with s wireless keyboard (A310-K BT Keyboard), but I cannot get it to work properly in Ubuntu 10.04.
The problem is, that it does not regognize key-combinations, so I cannot write in upper-case or use keyboard shortcuts. The Fn-key however seems so be working.
I've tried every keyboard-model in the keyboard-settings-menu I could think of. but none seems to change anything.
Anyone knows what the problem is?
This is written with a Logitech wireless USB keyboard that works perfectly - though it has become a bit nasty over the years.
Solved!

hi wulle489,
i suggest asking the Ubuntu forums and check if they have any repositories with regards to getting the keyboard to work correctly.

Can I put a Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (with audio) in a thunderbolt port in the new macBook Pro

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

Any Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio for macbook pro mid 2009

connecting MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to Hisense TV with audio?!?!!?
hello everyone.
if anyone is familar with successfully getting the older macbook pros that dont support audio out to stream and preform digital audio on a TV or has any helpful information that will get me familiar with trying to successfully stream audio and visual. and can PLEASE HELP ME in any way to understand what they know and teach me how to solve my problem id really appreciate it.
i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?
i have NO expierence with the proccess have NO knowledge about any of this or these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters with audio. i have no idea what kind of adapter and HDMI cord to buy that will give me sound from my tv for my type of macbook. '
im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio. The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable. The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

Z97M GAMING no hdmi signal with DVI converter

My monitor has VGA/DVI only (Samsung SyncMaster 213T), I have a HDMI to DVI converter in the DVI port, this works with the HDMI out from my laptop.
Am putting together a Z97M/4790K rig. I get no signal at the monitor from the Z97M's HDMI out, if I connect it to a TV I do get a signal.
Am using the same (short) HDMI cable and adaptor with both the laptop and the new Z79M, used the same cable to connect the Z79M to the TV.
So the cable and converter are good (they work with the laptop) and the Z79M HDMI port and cable are good with the TV.
Anyone have any idea why the Z97M HDMI output wont display on my monitor? (Any bios settings to make the HDMI signal more compatable?)

Yes, to be clear, there is no GPU. When I say the Z97M's HDMI out I mean the output from the Z97M motherboard. I have tried it with a second screen, the TV (it worked).
Logically one of two things must be happening... either the Z97M's HDMI signal isn't making it through the DVI/HDMI adaptor (when the laptop's signal is), or the monitor cannot process the Z97M's HDMI signal (when it can process the laptop's).
HDMI and DVI signals are the same, so the adaptor is just a plug converter ('square plug in round hole') and unlikely to be the issue, especially as it works with the laptop.
But both the monitor and laptop (which work together with HDMI and the DVI converter) are >5 years old. The Z97M is very new and could be it's HDMI output just isn't compatable in some way with the (relatively) old monitor.
Hence am wondering (for example) if there are any Z97M bios settings which might make it talk nicely to the old monitor.
Be interested to hear if anyone has had issues (or even success!) using the HDMI out with DVI monitors, especially old Samsung SyncMasters ?

I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

No hdmi port with this laptop?

No hdmi port with this laptop?

Only some laptops HDMI ports - of current models, the MacBook Pros do and the Macbook Airs don't. You can get adaptors from Thunderbolt (or Displayport on an older laptop, the plug is physically the same) to HDMI: for example this one.
