I am trying to connect my laptop to a Samsung LCD TV by VGA TO HDMI cable
My Laptop finds the Samsung tv on display setting.
But when I press fn+F7 key to switch display modes my TV displays No Signal
My laptop specifications are:
Lenovo R61 ThinkPad, Model: 8935AE7
Window7 Ultimate 32 bits
2GB RAM
VGA Port available
No HDMI Port
My TV specifications are:
Samsung LCD 26 "
HDMI Port available
VGA Port Available
I want to know what is the problem?
When I connect another Dell Laptop (Window7 32 bit) with HDMI to HDMI cable it works properly.
Thanks in Advance!

How much did your HDMI to VGA adapter cost? There are low cost (< $10)passive cables that do nothing but convert the two connectors to each other, but they require specific devices to operate - your laptop is not ready for this. A proper solution for this problem costs a lot more, it is an active converter selling around $100 cheapest... – ppeterka – 2012-10-17T11:07:42.867
I have also tried with VGA > VGA, it also not working.... Laptop showing "Display on external VGA device", what to do now? – Amit Prajapati – 2012-10-17T11:23:00.913
Guess it's a fault with your laptop's VGA port... – tombull89 – 2012-10-17T15:22:57.070
