Well, assuming your laptop HAS hdmi, have you pressed the FN+Monitor key? (FN is the bottom left key on the keyboard, and the Monitor is one of the F1-F12 Keys).

HDMI is a connector standard, you don't connect something to "your hdmi" you connect it to something that has an hdmi port. TV, Monitor, audio system, etc...

What are you trying to connect to and what exactly is the issue?
