Hey everyone,

I have a Toshiba 42tl515u and I haven been having some problems that come up every now and then when I connect my HPdv6 laptop to it with a HDMI amazon brand cord. I notice that the tv blinks to a black screen and then statics rolls up the screen from the bottom up. see picture: http://i59.tinypic.com/10i5ame.png.

So I tried switching HDMI cords and the same symptoms come up with the other one also. I used my roomates laptop to see if it happens and it doesn't with their laptop. I have 4 HDMI ports on my tv and its connected to #1 the ARC

I have read about adjusting settings and resolutions, and things about graphics cards but I am not sure what to do. The TV is still under warranty. I called them and sent it in and the guy said he replaced the HDMI component but its still having the problem which leads me to believe its my computer. My computer is still under warranty. Do you think i have a bad port?

Any suggestions on what to do?

Also it doesnt do it every time ti connect my laptop to the tv. For instance right now its not displaying those symptoms but yesterday it was.
