 Posted: Sat, 20th Sep 2008 20:51 Post subject: Getting no signal, DVI to HDMI |
|
 |
Since i got my Samsung HDTV, ive used a DVI to HDMI cable for PC to TV connection.
A few days ago i rearranged my livingroom, and now my TV is a bit farther away from my PC, enough so that my cable didn't reach. Fine, ordered a longer one off eBay, got it today, plugged it in, and now all the TV is doing is displaying No Signal when i try to view the PC connection.
Windows know the TV is there, so does Nvidias control panel. I can set the resolution and all, enable and disable it, but i cant get signal it seems.
Any ideas?
I have a 8800GT btw.

had the same problem as u have with my tv , i used vga to vga 10m cable.
i get no signal but the nvidia is showing that my tv is plugged but no signal so i tried it with a diffrent cable and it does the job.
try to use the same cable u had before and see if u can see any picture , if u can , rerplace ur cable.

Well, I doubt it... From what I know, DL are used for huge resolutions (for the extra bandwidth) and audio, so I don't think this is your problem... |

It could be the converter... Back in my CRT days, I remember having lots of problems with a DVI2VGA converter, I even considered replacing the monitor, then one day I replace the converter by mistake and had no problems at all. After switching back to the old converter (foolishly thinking it's better quality), problems returned.
