Hi guys,

So I have a bit of a problem here... I used someone else's laptop before and noticed that if you rebooted it with the HDMI plugged in, it would turn back on not recognising the TV no matter what you did. If you then rebooted it without the HDMI plugged in, it would show the TV again.

I thought the same thing would work now with my own laptop (Asus X541U), as it was working fine last night and when I opened my laptop this morning, I noticed the laptop had rebooted itself, as it was turning on rather than starting where I left off when I closed the lid. I realised that the only reason it would restart on its own would be because of an update.

So: I tried rolling back the driver on Display Adapters and re-updating the driver. That didn't work.

I have also tried turning the TV off and on again while into the HDMI but that dId not work.

I tried rebooting it WITH the HDMI plugged in AND WITHOUT. And that didn't work either.

I'm out of options here. I do YouTube videos and need tgis TV to turn on ASAP for me to continue!!!
