Hello, I have been trying to connect my desktop to my television, it connects perfectly well to my laptop but does not seem to connect to my desktop, just comes up with a floaty message to ‘check the cable connection’ which I have been doing, I have connected the hdmi cable to anything with an adequate slot, including all HDMI’s (1&2) and also a singular slot slightly above. Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Are you trying to connect the computer (tower system itself) to the TV? You may need a specific cord that converts HDMI to another. Such as a “HDMI to DVI adapter”. Because every computer is not as fully compatible to devices like a TV. Your laptop worked because it’s HDMI to HDMI compatible.
