Hey guys,
I just bought a fantastic new top-of-the-line PC, and it was working great until I tried switching the HDMI from my TV to my old laptop. After transferring files, I switched the HDMI back, and now there’s no signal to the monitor. The HDMI cable works with the laptop, but no signal from the PC. I have restarted, checked input settings, and updated drivers, but I’m stuck. How can I check drivers or resolution settings without a functional monitor?
You might have already tried this, but if the machine is booting even with a blank screen, wait a few minutes and press Win + Ctrl + Shift + B. It can reset the graphics driver.
I tried that too. It wasn’t the problem, but I resolved the issue. It was a dumb mistake on my part, but tech websites are terrible, and I’ll take responsibility for it. The mistake was mine, but the design and bad guides contributed to the confusion.
Good job on resolving it! Tech documentation often misses the mark, especially for everyday users.
