Since upgrade to .668 can't connect to tv

**henriec1** · 08-11-2012, 10:11 PM

My Playbook used to connect to my tv via hdmi but now after the .668 upgrade it doesn't anymore. If i connect them it doesn't get the signal.

Is there anyway to get that back?

Happend to me too and I just rebooted and now works.

Is this update back up?

I also rebooted but still no connection. So then i tried to do a security swipe but when installing back it updates the software and downloads and installs .668 again.

I hope they soon come with an update so i can hook my Playbook back again on my tv.

this my be obvious, but make sure you have changed the source of the input for your tv. i do not believe an update will fix your problem. I have not heard of many with tv connection problems do to updating to .668

I thought the same thing.... But after reading this thread now I'm thinking is related to the update, one is okay, two may be coincidence, but three? I'm the number 3 so far having problems connecting to the tv. My hdmi cable is in perfect condition,so I think the Imo got a point

I haven't tried on mine but I don't do it often anyway. Other than that .668 has been the best OS so far for me.

Works fine for me.

Haven't had any issues with HDMI since updating.

i use my playbook everyday connected to TV's and thankfully have not had an issue. That is the crazy thing, everyone uses there playbook differently and have different issues

After seeing this thread, I just tried all 9 of my Playbooks, and the HDMI out to TV works just fine on them all.

No problem with hdmi connection....actually PB is better in many ways since update,faster browser,keyboard works better, Gmail faster.....strange that some PB's are fine while others are having issues.

I did another security swipe and now with the Playbook connected to the TV and it works again.

Still it was a very weird issue. Yet it works now!

Maybe you could have tried changing some HDMI settings on the PlayBook to a lower resolution and then upping it one at a time.. Just maybe.. My TV connection works fine..
