Hello,
My screen didn't survive a fall and now it's cracked, and when I turn it on, it's impossible to read what's on it because there are black shapes from the impact that block the view.
I'd like to know how to connect my laptop to the TV.
I've tried with the HDMI and VGA cable, but no image appears on the TV even though the image is fine on the laptop. Is there a specific connection I need to make?

Hello,
Connect your VGA or HDMI cable from the TV to the powered-off PC.
Then turn on the PC. Normally, the image should switch automatically to the TV.
If that’s not the case, you have a key that corresponds to the external display.
You need to hold down the FN key and then press the key corresponding to the external display at the F1, F2 level...
