  • Answer:

    normally there is an option you have to select to tell the computer to turn the HDMI on. I know i had the same issue with my S video. On my toshiba laptop I right click on the desktop, then move my mouse to "Graphic options", then "output to", there i have option of picking television, or second monitor. Yours might be different depending on the brand. Hope that helps :)
