Hello,
I would like to share 2 problems with the HDMI cable.
- The first is size-related: my PC screen looks like it’s “off” or in standby the moment I plug in the HDMI cable, which really prevents working with a black screen to set up what needs to be done.
- The second issue is that I expected my TV screen to display my desktop (the PC’s), but it shows “no support.” The problem isn’t the cable, as it works very well with another PC (borrowed for testing) on the same TV. On the other hand, when trying with a VGA cable alone, issue 2 appears. My NVIDIA card configuration can’t find the TV despite driver updates... the setup is almost impossible because it finds nothing. My screen resolution under Windows 7 shows a VGA device even when it isn’t connected.
I feel a bit blocked, to summarize.
PC config: not very old: Windows 7, NVIDIA GT320, Pentium dual-core processor
Personal config: clumsy, computer-literate-weak, trying to be resourceful, please help.

Hello,
I just realized I have a problem similar to Problem No. 1: as soon as I plug in the HDMI cable, my PC screen goes black and I can’t work on the PC to do the configurations, etc...
How can I make the screen come back to my PC,
KNOWING THAT I CANNOT WORK ON THIS PC since the screen is black!!
In fact, the desktop appears on the TV AND the PC screen is black!
but we cannot work on the TV to restore things...
