- Hi there,
I have got the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to me and tried to connect the PB with my HDTV and I was successful in doing so with correct projection on the LCD TV. Now the second time I tried doing it I was unable to connect. I don't know whats the reason as the PB is showing connected on the top ribbon but nothing comes up on the TV. As remedial actions I have done the following :
- Changed TVs from Panasonic Viera to Sony Bravia
Changed Cables
Changed the HDMI connectors
Ordered a new cable from ebay.
But still I am not able to project anything on to the screen from PB.
Please help.06-07-11 02:58 AMLike 0 - Changed TVs from Panasonic Viera to Sony Bravia

- PB supports micro HDMI,
Try check your TV, if your TV have 2 HDMI port, try check port setting, HDMI1 or HDMI2, try off then on your TV, or re-insert cables else check the port in your playbook if have damage. My problem in HDMI is no sound output in TV but when I changed the settings in PB to preferred size of screen, the sound works.06-07-11 03:15 AMLike 0 -

- Possible:
there has been some prior reports of poor quality cables.
When I went to purchase from newegg.com, the user reviews on some cables was consistently bad. I had to pickup one that seemed to have best reviews .. and it worked (IOGEAR)
If the cables worked before, not now, it could be a connector break in which case the cable should be replaced.Last edited by mandony; 06-18-11 at 01:00 AM.

I finally ordered a micro HDMI to HDMI adapter from cnn.cn, used regular HDMI cables to connect to TV and has worked like a charm since. Don't recall how much, but was around $10 after shipping.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-19-11 02:01 AMLike 0 - Sorry to resurrect an old thread but kind of the same problem. Since OS 2.1 my PlayBook will not work on my Panasonic TV. I have tried on my cheap basement Dynex TV and no problems, works like a charm. I have tried my Micro HDMI cable coupled to a HDMI to D-SUB and that works on my computer monitor. So for the life of me, I can not get it to work on my Panasonic Viera Plasma TV after OS 2.1 with different Micro HDMI cables. It worked before OS 2.1.
Anyone else having this issue?11-24-12 05:01 PMLike 0 - No problems at all here.....both my playbooks work fine with "blue rigger" branded hdmi to micro hdmi cables bought from amazon here in the UK.....i use them on Samsung and LG lcd tv's....i do need to change the tv source manually though as they do not auto detect the playbook connection.11-24-12 05:27 PMLike 0

Good luck.11-24-12 06:45 PMLike 0 -
Tried changing the display too and nothing.
I'll report back after trying the rebooting while connected and HDMI on.11-24-12 07:14 PMLike 0 -
1. TV on, correct HDMI input = nothing
2. TV on, incorrect HDMI, switch to correct = nothing
3. TV off, correct HDMI input, TV turned on = nothing
4. PlayBook off, TV on, correct input, PlayBook turned on = nothing
5. PlayBook on, TV on, correct input, PlayBook rebooted = nothing
6. PlayBook on, TV on, correct input, PlayBook rebooted, power connected = nothing
Oh well, I guess I could get a Panasonic tech to come out under warranty, there could be a firmware or something that could fix it.
Thanks everyone for trying to help out.11-24-12 10:01 PMLike 0 - Update:
Contacted Panasonic and they asked me to do a RESET on my TV. That didn't work and I lost all my settings. As I was looking for my settings I wrote down, about 2 minutes later the PlayBook displayed on the TV. Totally weird that it would take 2 minutes for the TV to take display from an HDMI input. I switched inputs and it appeared instantly, I hope it's fixed but still asking for a tech to come out because the warranty expires next month and don't want any other surprises.
Thanks again everyone.11-25-12 03:55 PMLike 0
