HDMI on Laptop
Posted
My Acer Nitro 5's screen is broken, and when I connect it by HDMI to my LG flatscreen TV, it detects that I'm using a PC but gives no signal and just shows the wallpaper of the TV.

Things to consider:
- The display configuration is up to the operating system to decide.
- The BIOS most often doesn't output to anything but the primary display.
- Windows (and other operating systems) feature multiple modes of "display projection", one of which is usually "PC screen only".
Your list of debugging steps to try in order should be:
- Use the Win+P (Super+P) shortcut while the laptop is booted, in hopes that it's a problem caused by display projection (Note that you will also need to select another mode, meaning this shortcut will have to be used in the form of Win+P+2+Enter (specifying the option out of the list, or Win+P+ArrowKeyUpDown+Enter to navigate within the list),
- Boot into another operating system, like a GNU/Linux liveboot distribution, in case it's a problem with your current OS's display configuration,
- Disassemble the laptop and physically unplug the display (Usually eDP connector) of your "broken" internal display, to remove it as a possibility of a primary display.

Here is a simple explanation
Step 1: make sure your laptop and TV both have an HDMI port
Step 2: turn off your laptop
Step 3: turn on your TV
Step 4: plug in the HDMI cable to both your laptop and TV
Step 5: turn your laptop on and close it
Boom its now projecting to your TV, make sure you have a keyboard and mouse.
