I Do Not See The Splash Screen

Question:

Why am I not seeing a splash screen when connecting my laptop to the TV via VGA?

 

Answer:

There could be several issues causing this problem:

 

Defective VGA Cable - Try using a different VGA cable to rule out any defects in the current one.

Defective Video Card - Connect your laptop to another monitor and check if it displays correctly. If yes, the video card might be defective.

Defective VGA port on the television - Test your TV's VGA port with a different device (e.g., another laptop or gaming console). If the issue persists, the port may be faulty.

Incompatible video card drivers - Ensure your laptop has the latest video card drivers installed. Download and update the drivers if needed, then try connecting to the TV again.

 

To resolve this issue:

 

Test for a defective VGA cable or video card by connecting to a different monitor.

Check for a faulty VGA port on your TV by connecting another device.

Update your video card drivers to ensure compatibility with your TV.
