Getting HDMI working on Inspiron 15R N5110?












1














I installed Windows 8.1 on my Laptop which had Windows 7 when I bought it. After installing Windows 8.1 and installing the drivers Drivers & Downloads page I still haven't got the HDMI to work. If someone could help me, that would be great

  • So you have install the Intel HD drivers correct? What driver version did you install exactly? Don't link me to a non-English website.

  • @Jeggy - You can't really install a drive incorrectly. I can't link to an exact driver since I don't know what hardware you have exactly.

After connecting an external display to your HDMI port on the computer, right click on your desktop and click 'Screen Resolution'. If there is a grey screen there, click it and change 'Multiple Displays: Disconnect this display' to 'Multiple Displays: extend desktop to this display'. You may need to also try holding the Fn key (next to left ctrl) and tapping the display key, which I think on your computer is F1.
