@Ash – Which screen is blank, just the TV? In either case, best to start over. Disconnect everything, power up your laptop and make sure the screen is displaying correctly. Next, power the laptop down, connect the external monitor (TV) and power back up the laptop. You should have at very least a display on the laptop. From that point, follow the steps above for “Tell The Laptop To Display Content On The TV”.

When you’re in screen resolution, there are a number of settings. You’ll want to choose the duplicate display option which will output exactly what you see on the laptop to your external monitor (TV). Good luck!

@Kevin – Sounds like you’re trying to diagnose a non-functioning laptop screen. If so, without Windows auto-detecting it you could be a bit out of luck unless your laptop also has a VGA connection and you have an extra monitor that supports it. Give a shout if it’s simply an error message type issue, maybe I can give some guidance.
