M15x TV output problem

Hello all,

Just a single question , sorry if this is already discussed here.

I had a GTX 260m on my laptop, which i changed(using dell service) with a GTX 460M..everything good so far...but, I tried lately to use the DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter in order to see some moviezz on the TV using this same exact model of DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter:

DELL DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter for Dell Latitude / Alienware Laptops / Optiplex Desktop / Precision Mobile WorkStations : Desktop Accessories | Dell

Without no change , there is not signal or some recognition from the laptop that i have this on my tv connected...


Please anyone, what should I do... is this display port installed correctly? How should I enable it? I am really stuck here.


Device manager shows everything installed and good...but I connected the tv with this HDMI adapter and no chance to work


All help will be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

 

No one?

I connect the Display adapter to the display port...and nothing happens

maybe is broken ..

 

I used mine with the TV for the first time yesterday - TV is a 52" Sharp 1080p LCD. I connected it to the TV input, then switched the TV to the input that the laptop was on. Immediately, the laptop screen flashed briefly, then both displays came on. HDMI is funny - TV has to tell the display card what it can display. While you could have a dead adapter, I'd play around with inputs. Also, be sure the computer is not trying to send a resolution that the TV can't handle.

Good luck,

Joe

 

I'd suggest trying a different brand/model TV as some just won't work.
I had issues with my 70" Mitsubishi but had no problem with the 40" Panasonic
Eventually I resolved my issue with an Nvidia driver update.
I'm running 275.27 as several others on NBR are and no problems yet!
Good luck!

Edit: Wrong Link.
Here's the 275.27
And the 267.76
These seems to be the most stable Beta and WHQL out there.

 

Thank you, all for the response...

My TV is a Sony Bravia 32 inch.... i think for sure is not the TV...

Maybe is the adapter, or directly from the lap and for sure i will need to see someone to fix it

By the way, yes i am using 275.27 too
Thanks again for the info.

 

yes, it seems the display port is the one , not working properly...

next step - warranty

 

If you've verified with several other TV's through HDMI, go for it!
Good luck!

 

Conclusion after diagnose received from dell service:

Motherboard will be replaced !!

 

Congrats!
Hope your new motherboard gets here soon and you have no output problems thereafter
Keep us up to date on the return and if it resolves your issue!

 

Yes, i will update as soon as the problem si solved!

 

Problem SOLVED, now working GREAT!

Motherboard was the problem!



QUESTION for you 15x Guys,

Alienware m15x supports only 1 HDD?

 

No, you can remove the optical drive and put a HDD there, you only need a caddy that fits.

 

thank you svl7! , I thought i can keep the optical drive and have 2 hdd oh well.. SSD for later

 

Actually, you can have both. --http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249077

With an external DVD or BR drive, you can have two internal drives. Of course, it means more to carry if you need the optical capability away from home..

yes, for now it is ok with what i have...

and about the Display Port, i was amazed about the quality of the video played and also the support for sound via HDMI really is awesome.

Better than anything I had before, even if on previous laptops (Including M17xR3 ) with direct HDMI port, I didn't had the quality I have !

 

Glad to hear it!
