If you have an HP All-In-One computer with a built-in monitor that’s supposed to support external devices through HDMI, you may encounter issues connecting them. If this happens, there are several things you can check to try and fix the problem.
Firstly, make sure the HDMI cable is properly connected to both the All-In-One and the external device. If the cable is loose, plug it in securely. If it’s damaged, replace it with a new one.
Next, check that the external device is turned on and set to the correct input. Some devices have multiple HDMI inputs, so confirm that the right one is selected.
If the cable and device are working fine, the problem might lie with the All-In-One. Check its settings to ensure the HDMI input is enabled. Navigate to the control panel, select “Display,” then “Change Display Settings,” and click on “Advanced Settings.” Look for the “Monitor” tab and confirm that HDMI is the default input.
If HDMI is enabled but still not working, see if there’s a graphics driver update available. The graphics driver controls the display settings and may need an update to support HDMI. Look for the latest driver on the HP website, download and install it, and then restart the computer to see if it helps.
If the HDMI input is still not working, try using a different HDMI port on the All-In-One. Some models have multiple ports, so experiment with them.
If none of the above works, it’s possible that the All-In-One has a hardware issue that needs fixing. Check the warranty and contact HP technical support if necessary.
In summary, if you experience HDMI connection issues with your HP All-In-One, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem. By following them, you may be able to restore the HDMI input to full functionality.
