WiDi or Miracast on a Pavilion 400-297hk

I have a Pavilion 400-297hk which I bought a few months ago on the understanding that it was "WiDi-ready". But now I come to try to set up the WiDi I can't get the system to recognise that it is capable of it. I'm running Windows 8.1. This Pavilion model comes with an nVidia GT635 video card and a Broadcom BCM943228 wifi adaptor. Both of these devices appear to be WiDi capable adaptors. However, I don't see the "Add a Wireless Display" option when I go to Devices/Project. I'm trying to connect to a display with an Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2 adaptor. I can add it as a device manually - it appears to talk to my PC, generates an access code and then I can enter that code. The device then appears on my list of system devices. It tells me that "Magic is about to happen" on my display, but then it fails. The Intel WiDi software tells me that I am using an unsupported Intel Graphics device. Can anyone confirm definitively that I should be able to get this Pavilion working with my ActionTec adaptor? And if so, give me any pointers to drivers/software or whatever to get it working? I note also in passing that the motherboard of a 400-297hk has an on-board Intel Graphics adaptor which is somehow disabled, and the ports covered in blanking panels. I'm not a particularly graphics heavy user, so I'd be happy to dismount the nVidia and enable the Intel Graphics if that would let me get WiDi working. Thanks in advance for any useful advice.

Thanks again. I understand that the two documents suggest that my machine configured with the nVidia graphics card is not WiDI compatible. They say nothing about Miracast, but putting that aside, my second and third questions stand. Your first linked specification suggests that without the nVidia card installed my machine will work with the integrated Intel Graphics on the motherboard, and your second linked WiDI document lists Intel Integrated Graphics 4000 series as meeting the requirements. So again: 2) Can I simply uninstall the nVidia card and use the integrated Intel Graphics on this machine? If so, any hints on driver reinstallation etc would be very welcome (especially from someone who's actually done it!). 3) What would I lose by uninstalling the nVidia card?

Intel WiDi and Miracast

I have an HP Pavillion g6-2010nr Notebook PC . It's came with Windows 7. I want to use a wireless display adapter to wirelessly display (mirror) my laptop screen on TV. It requires that my laptop be "Intel WiDi and Miracast" enabled. Is my laptop Intel WiDi and Miracast enabled? Do I have to install something? or can Windows 7 not do it? If Windows 7 can do it, how do I get it to connect? I know on Windows 8 there is a project option that allows you to connect to a TV, but I'm not sure where to find that option on Windows 7. I am a newbie, so the more details... the better.
Thanks

Hi,
No. The following specs shows it does not meet WiDi requirements:

Will Pavilion 400-434 work properly if placed horizontally rather than vertically?

Would like to place my Pavilion 400-434 on its side (so cd-drive faces up). Fits better on my computer shelf. Will it operate properly this way? Thank you!

I have read your post on how you are looking to place your computer horizontally rather than vertically, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
You can place your desktop horizontally, so long as your system is not equipped with liquid cooling, and that there are no exhaust fans or intakes being blocked.
I hope this helps!

Yoga 11s - WIDI/Miracast stopped working

WIDI or Miracast stopped working properly after I got my screen replaced by Lenovo warranty repair.
Prior to the repair, I had no issues with connecting to my smart TV (samsung UN55F6400)
I got the latest drivers for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and RTL8723AU wireless adapter, but still no go.
What happens:
I can add a new device and mirror my screen, but after I disconnect, the next time I try to connect it says "Tap to fix the connection", then I have to set it up again as a new connection.
It used to work flawlessly before so not sure what changed.
Anyone else have any issues or successes?
If it works for you, can you post your driver versions for the graphics and wireless adapter?

Looks like Lenovo should fix your laptop under warranty in Turkey. According to the Lenovo Support website this model is covered in Turkey. If you haven't already done this, go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/contactus
Select Laptops - Yoga Series (last option at the bottom) - Yoga 11s
You will get a page with multiple options, click on International Warranty Services in the middle of the page. When you scroll down you will see Turkey listed there. This list changes for each model and is how Lenovo determines if your specific product can be serviced in a particular market. My specific laptop model has no countries showing there other than USA, no international warranty.
I suggest you escalate it on the phone and go as high up as needed.

Z50-70 Miracast/WiDi Problem

Hi i want to use WiDi or Miracast on my Z50-70 but intel software needs an intel wifi adapter. This one has the Atheros. Which intel network adapter wil work in my lenovo?
A list of supported adapter can be found here:
http://supportkb.intel.com/wireless/wireless-display/templates/selfservice/intelwidi/#portal/1026/ar...
Mod Comment: Started new thread for issue. Edited subject.

Hi MarkV6,
     What "hdmi stick" are you talking about? Is that a stick, you have inserted into the HDMI port, on your TV? Is your Lumia phone a Windows Phone? What's the name/model number of the stick?
     Try going into Settings > PC and Devices > Devices > Add A Device, instead of "add wireless display" on your first attempt to connect the TV. If you already see your adapter (stick) in that screen under "other devices", delete this instance, then re-boot your laptop. Then, go back to the settings menu for Add A Device, and try it again. As I said, you should be connected to your Internet while doing this. It could take awhile to update, either your Windows software, or your adapter's firmware/software.
     You should have a Miracast Adapter plugged into the HDMI port on the TV, or a new TV that supports the new Miracast WiFi certification. Miracast is not a Lenovo controlled program. It is hardware independent, and software controlled. If you can't connect to your stick, more than likely, your stick, does not support the current, full range of certified Miracast specifications.
     Look at this page, at the Wi-Fi.org:
http://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?capabilities=2
    On the left, put in the Manufacturer of your "stick". If it's certified for Miracast, it should be there. If it's there, you may need to update the sticks firmware. If not, you need to buy a new adapter.

Satellite C855-use my LG TV as wireless display

I have a Satellite C855-S5350, and i recently purchased a brand new LG 6300LB HD tv. Id like to use it as a wireless display. When i go to devices and add device in conjunction to having my TV screen share app open, it says cannot connect. My TV tells me it accepts WiDi and Miracast, im almost positive my computer doesnt have WiDi though.
Im pretty familiar with this type of stuff, and have no luck. I have connected my Android easily. Maybe i need a driver? Not sure what else to try.

LUMIA 730 data connections issue found

Hi there,
This is the second problem i have notified in my lumia 730 after 10 days usage. I can't find the data connection switch to turn off after surfing a long while in 2g connection. And the same appears after restarting the phone. My phone takes to much time for shutdown as it shows "GOODBYE" message for atleast 60 seconds.
For information - I am using transcend 8gb class-2 SDHC memory card and i had stored 30apps (3.62gb apps including asphalt8). Please give me a solution to solve this issue.
Thanks&regards,
R. JAI RAJ KUMAR

I just got my first W8P a Lumia 730 and after few days of usage I becoming to like it & almost recommend it to others until recenty. I am experiencing exactly the same problem like on this thread and on the shared screeshoots. During this state my phone's cellular+sim settings is deactivated by itself. My phone is unreachable and couldnt make an outgoing call even I had active networks & full networks coverage. If try to dial it doesnt call and it doesnt cancell my current dialed number. I have to restart the phone by hard pressing the switch to make it usable again. It takes something like 2 minutes to restart. When connecting to WiDi thru Miracast, it will disconnect after few seconds. I had 32gb class10 microSDHC attached, one of the best in the market as they advertized but I suffered accasional crashed. Checking your phone's network setting from time to time worrying that you may miss an important call is the last thing we want from our phone. I'd like to ask your technical support I supposed I am on the right site, please help us.

Here is the HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer. This MSG lists all part number and hardware specs available for your series of computer. Again, these detailed indepth specs don't list that this model supports WiDi or Miracast. The specs do, however, list that the maximum RAM is 16GB (2 x 8GB).

Hi
I have a laptop Lenovo W540. I installed on it Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu, I have tried to use Miracast and Intel Wireless Display but I cannot find "Add a wireless display" in a Project menu. In addition, AirServer which uses Miracast can't start it.
I have installed the newst drivers from Lenowo website and my laptop is compatibile with the technology. When I run Intel WiDi I only have a window with instruction how to use WiDi.
Where can be a problem?

Pavilion Slimline 400-034 Windows 8 not detecting 2nd Monitor

Hello, I have a Windows HP computer, and I recently bought a 2nd monitor for my birthday, link click here. I have the same monitor for my first, and that works perfectly fine, when I bought the 2nd monitor, I realized I have a different port, and it's not a DVI-I, it's a DVI-D. So I bought a VGA to DVI-D connector, so I plugged my VGA into the connector and then plug the DVI-D into the tower. I turned on my computer, and the 2nd monitor wasn't detected, the DVI-D connected one, but the first one was. The monitor was set into mode auto, so it detected any working inputs, DVI, VGA, HDMI, and another. The 2nd monitor works thought while into the DVI-I port, but neither work in the DVI-D port. Any help (: ??

Here are the specs for you HP Pavilion Slimline 400-034 Desktop Computer and here is the user guide for your Insignia™ - 24" LED HD "NS-24EM51A14" Monitors. Based on the specs of your computer, it has one DVI-D (digital only) output and one DVI-I (digital and analog) output as shown below;
#3 - DVI-D (digital only) #4 - DVI-I (digital and analog)
According the user guide for your Insignia monitors... VGA, DVI-D, and HMDI inputs are available. Using a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter will work on the DVI-I port because it supplies both digital and analog signals. Using a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter will NOT work on the DVI-D port because it only supplies digital signals. Please remove both DVI-to-VGA adapters and VGA cables and replace them both with DVI-D cables. You can purchase these cables online and at most local retail store such as Fry's, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Radio Shack, Staples, Newegg, Office Depot, etc. Once you have purchased two DVI-D cables, please connect your hardware as follows;
Computer ---> DVI-D cable ---> Monitor #1
Computer ---> DVI-D cable ---> Monitor #2
