Hey there! I'm from Brazil and I've been trying to fix this issue for quite some time. My parents own an old HP Pavilion (I could try getting more accurate on the model if you guys could provide me ways to do so as I can't find it anywhere on the notebook :c) that they use to communicate with me via skype as I don't live with them anymore. However, since a few months back, they couldn't connect it to the TV and since I got back home for vacations I've been trying to fix it.
It's an old model so it lacks an HDMI connection. We use a standard VGA cable instead. And before anyone asks, I've tested the cable with 2 other notebooks and it works properly.
The issue is, while the notebook itself acknowledges the connection and allow me to change some of the configurations (like extended desktop), the TV flashes for a second but won't show anything, no matter what I try.
I've tried checking the drives for the notebook, but the HP auto-detection won't show anything, and I simply can't find further information on the model to manual search for them.
Welp, I guess that's it. Any help is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance :3~
