<br>
I have a desktop PC. Monitor went dead (after 10yrs usage). So I<br>
have no display for PC now. If it was not for the lockdown, would not<br>
be writing abt this as would have had a new monitor anyways!.<br>
<br>
Now PC boots fine, and can access it from laptop.<br>
I thought I could hook the Sony TV to PC using HDMI cable.<br>
I do it .<br>
Connect hdmi cable at pc & tv.<br>
switch on TV, switch to HDMI mode.<br>
switch on PC.<br>
But no display on TV.<br>
<br>
Motherboard has onboard graphics ( I had a nVidia card too but<br>
removed it), There is VGA, Displayport, HDMI . <br>
I would assume BIOS has some way to direct display output, but BIOS<br>
cannot be reached. <br>
TV is Sony Bravia 40", R Pi works fine with the TV.<br>
<br>
I have a HDMI->VGA adaptor - which I assume is<br>
no use in current situation .<br>
I also had bought a VGA-HDMI adaptor but cant find it (when its<br>
needed the most! When I bought it I wondered if would every use it!!)<br>
<br>
So I assume now option is to get HDMI output, once kernel has<br>
booted or X has started. Still searching how to do that.<br>
<br>
But if anyone has any solution/tips please do point out.<br>
<br>
