[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1130491, member: 24160"] Kee2987: It sounds to me like you're doing everything right. Can't find a Mintek manual, since they went under back in '07. (Warning to anyone thinking of buying a Mintek TV or DVD player, those new units have been sitting on someone's shelf for 3 years now.) My guess is the TV is not passing any EDID info along letting the computer know there is anything connected. I wouldn't advise wasting your money switching adapters. What you have should work if it's going to work with that TV. What I would suggest is trying another TV, especially if you can find one a friend is already connecting their computer to... just to make sure you haven't gotten hold of a bad adapter or cable. If it works on another TV, then I'd give up on HDMI and just move to VGA. [/QUOTE]
