There are many reasons why you might not be getting a signal via HDMI – often it’s something simple like a loose connector or the wrong input source.
No signal via HDMI cable – what to do?
If your HDMI cable suddenly stops transmitting sound or images, it’s annoying – but often easy to fix.
- Check the cable connection: Make sure that the HDMI cable is correctly and securely connected to both the output device (e.g., PC, Blu-ray player, console) and the display device (TV or monitor).
- Check the cable for defects: Inspect the cable for visible damage or breaks. A defective cable should be replaced with a new HDMI cable immediately.
- Ruling out a loose connection: Carefully move the cable at both ends. If the signal only appears sporadically, there is probably a loose connection or a loose connection.
- Test the HDMI port: Connect the HDMI cable to another port on the device or use the cable on another device to test it. This will help you determine whether the connection or the cable itself is the problem.
- Select the correct input source: Make sure that the correct HDMI input is selected on the TV or monitor. To do this, usually use the “Source” or “Input” button on the remote control. If you are unsure, try all available inputs.
