Hey guys, i've been cracking my head over this for a while, hope someone help me out!
Allow me to explain my situation.
I have a evga GTX570 2,5GB version in my desktop which has 2 DVI outputs, an HDMI output and a DisplayPort. (it supports max 2 outputs at once) I use a dual screen setup where both screens are connected to both DVI outputs. And i also have my TV hooked up to the HDMI port using a 5m hdmi cable.
Occasionally, i want to watch a movie/play some games using my TV screen. I'd disable one of my regular (DVI) screens and enable the HDMI TV in the nvidia control panel. This has worked fine for years.
Now last week i was moving some stuff around and doing regular maintenance on my desktop when i think i broke the HDMI cable, the connector ends came out of the shell so to speak and i could bend it both ways. Sure enough, the pc didn't even recognize the TV anymore and neither did the TV see any signal on the HDMI input. I thought, no biggie, i'll get a new cable.
So i got a fresh new 5m long cable and replaced the broken one, however i have troubles getting it to work.
The PC recognizes the TV just fine, proving the make and model in the details even. So i'm able to disable one of the DVI monitors and enable the TV just fine. However i never get a picture on the TV. The TV shows that it has a connection(?) since the HDMI1 channel is enabled (which otherwise it isn't). But it keeps showing a No Signal sign. I've changed resolution from 1080p 60/75hz all the way (in steps) down to 480i 25hz. But not even the smallest resolution gave me a picture.
I figured the new HDMI cable might be broken as well, but when i physically connect the HDMI cable to one of the DVI slots using a HDMI>DVI converter i get perfect picture on the TV. So the cable is able to carry the signal.
I've thought that maybe i'd need a higher grade HDMI cable or that the HDMI output on the gfx card could be broken, but i doubt both since they do carry over data (like make and model) in the first place.
I'm not sure how i could test the functionality of my HDMI output, nor do i have a spare high quality HDMI cable i can try out. So i thought maybe the nice folks at TH create a lightbulb when they think about this.
Thanks for the read and if you can show me the correct direction that would be great
