Title: HDMI trouble: Toshiba/Panasonic, x2 hdmi cable, laptop+ android box Post by: rfgqqabc on October 18, 2014, 04:38:01 PM Hey guys, having some issues with all this junk.
So I've tried both cables into both tvs into both the laptop/android box. On the Toshiba the laptop appears to send over a signal, the screen changes from blue to black, but nothing is actually displayed. On my display setting it sometimes picks up a second monitor, which just reads "Display device on: VGA". This happens when the cables are plugged in on both tvs, however only the Toshiba tv appeared to change output, whereas the panasonic tv did nothing at all. I've tried every port on everything and still no success. I tried resetting the tv, switching it off at the mains unplugging everything and then retrying and couldn't get any further. Anyone got any suggestions, seems unlikely 2 of one object has failed in some way, so maybe I am missing something obvious. Cheers.

Yes i switched every device on and off. Title: Re: HDMI trouble: Toshiba/Panasonic, x2 hdmi cable, laptop+ android box Post by: relaedgc on October 18, 2014, 07:25:38 PM Have you done anything with your laptop settings? I would google your model and check what you need to do to display HDMI.
