    Can anyone help me?

    Im having trouble get my laptop to work in my flatscreen tv. I have sound but no picture. Its a SEG tv and iv tried various different laptops. The hdmi connection is fine as my xbox is working via the hdmi connection.

    Iv tried looking at online but my problem doesnt seem to have come up before

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    A Fn key combo to enable/disable external displays is not uncommon.

    Yep...most likely an Fn key combination. Check the F keys (F1, F2, F3, etc) for an icon with a computer monitor printed on it. Then press FN + the F key with the icon. Also, check out http://www.cabletv.com/connect-windows-laptop-to-tv for more help.

    i know you said the hdmi was fine as it works on the xbox. Is this using the same cable?

    hi , try this. press and hold your windows button on your keyboard (the button with the picture of a window on it) and then click the letter "P" button . in the options displayed,first try selecting extend , let it run for a few seconds and then select duplicate. this leaves me with picture on both pc and tv but the sound from the tv only. if it doesn't do the same for your devices, you should play around with all the options displayed in different combinations and sequences . hope this helps .
