google photos screen saver causes monitor to blank out

When you plug in HDMI, there is initial communication (handshake) that tells the host (laptop) the characteristics of what it is talking to. Better not to plug multiple times a day as the connectors will wear out.

For typical consumer equipment that is probably 1000+ cycles but there are no guarantees. Please can someone help, do I need device manager prompt? I thought it was working alright as it was mirroring last night fine, then not fine?Īll the external ports on your laptop are connectors and these all have a finite life. The previous one was 5 years old and it was cheaper to buy a refurb, than replace the battery and power on jack and hdmi cable jack which had worn out, or the pins had bent. I had a Lenovo Cream 110S before and love them, they are compact, light (bc they are basically plastic) and this one is just a year old. My Lenovo is inclined to disable stuff all on its own ie: my cursor swopping it for a mouse being enabled, but other than that there are no other problems. I have read a couple of suggestions on Tom's Guide, but it concentrates on 'never plugging the cable in when the laptop is on', like that is what is causing the problem. So, I was plugging in the cable as my tv was ready and mirroring the laptop for a film, when the laptop screen just went black. Hi, for over three yrs I have plugged in my hdmi cable then my Samsung prompts for the format channel yesterday I had taken out the hdmi cable (I leave it in all the time generally, but on a previous Lenovo, it eventually wore the Jack pin out).
