I connected an HDMI cable from my lap top to my Onkyo recever to play my digital music through my home theater speakers. When I accidentally closed my laptop while playing the music, everything stopped working so I opened the laptop and the music resumed but the screen remained blank (dark).
Now everytime I connect an HDMI cable to the laptop, the screen goes completely dark and comes back as soon as I unplug the HDMI cable.
Whatever I am running on the laptaop (music or programs), continues running, I just don't see anything on the screen until I unplug the HDMI cable.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Windows Vista home premium with an Intel Pentium dual T2390 @ 1.86 GH, a Sigmatel high definition audio codec sound card. a 220 GB hard drive with 136 GB free and 3 GB RAM.
Is there a solution somewhere to this problem?
Please advice.
