| | This would have to do with setting your display adapter You have to open up control panel and choose Appearance and Personalization Like this also it should show two screens but with a laptop i think it has to be put into extended mode after that click on it it as you see the settings below will tell you default main etc......choose click apply if satisfied |

| | Is your cable "Certified" 1.3c or 1.4? (Cos older cables 1.3/1.3b etc can't handle the data thruput!) |

| | Usually you have to press a F key to step thru the outputs to enable the output. See page 77 of the maunal. Toshiba Satellite C870 | User Guide - Page 23 |

| | indianatone, yes tried that, F4, when the cable is plugged in i get about 4 different options but when i change it to any of them there is no change. NEO101, i would assume so its the cable i use for my ps3, xbox and DVD player |

| | its okay people, figured it out, used a different Tv, basically for my main tv (samsung) the application has to be switched on before the TV can be turned over to HD1 2 3 etc, where as my other TV (LG) can be put on the HD channel before the application is turned on my laptops HDMI port is apparently only activated once a live HDMI connection is available so it wouldent pick up the HDMI cable with my samsung TV as it was not live if that makes sense lol thanks for the help  |
