    Hi everybody, I've been having a problem with my GX640. When I try to hook up my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable, nothing appears on the TV. I know it isn't an issue with the cable or the TV, as my friend's laptop works just fine with them. Does anyone know what could be going on?

    You could give us some more information about what exactly is happening, and what you've tried so far. Are you on the proper input?

    And nothing should appear on TV unless you set your output mode (clone/expand) in Catalyst Control Center and/or change input mode of your TV to HDMI.
