Re: Computer tech help needed
Hello Tachyon,
I tried your suggestion. It does not work.
1.) I have an fn key on my laptop but it's not blue/purple (just grey like all the other keys).
2.) with the USb adapter plugged in, a HDMI wire plugged into that, with the other end of the wire connected to a HDMI port on the TV this is what happens.
3.) Laptop is playing a netflix movie. The TV is turned on and the TV input is set at a HDMI input.
4.) I press and hold down the fn key then click on the f4 key. The TV stays dark
If, however, I click on the f4 key only, I see a side screen (on the laptop screen). Side screen shows me several options: PC screen, or duplicate or extend or second screen only.
5.) I highlight the "duplicate" , hold down the fn key and click on the f4 key. Tv stays dark. I do the same with all the other options, one at a time. TV stays dark.
PS, if I highlight and click on the "second screen only" the laptop goes dark and the only way to get it back up and running is to remove the battery, wait 5 minutes and then reinsert the Batt.
