Using an external monitor with HP Pavilion dv6t-3100 Select EditionEntertainment laptop
I tried connecting a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop to an external monitor and
it did not get any signal. The monitor was taken from a desktop where it was working. The laptop has a integrated Intel graphics card 512MB which it is using and a dedicated graphic card AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series 512MB which is not used. I checked the laptop BIOS but it does not seem to have a way to switch from the integrated graphic card to the AMD card. The integrated graphics card seems to support only one monitor, which is the laptop screen. It is running Windows 10 Home 64 bit and when I disabled the integrated Intel graphics card from Windows device manager, it did not switch to the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series graphic card but went blank. 1. Can an external monitor be connected to this laptop powered by the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series graphic card? 2. Is there a way that the integrated Intel graphics card can support the external monitor? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

I don't know if these apply to your model but might be worth a try ------------------------------------------------------------------ How do I connect my laptop to an external monitor Options ‎02-10-2011 01:39 PM Hi, You can connect to an external monitor via a VGA or HDMI connection. The usual process to transfer the video output to an external source is to hold down the fn key and press f4. Use the arrow keys to select 'Projector Only' and hit enter. Hope this helps. Best wishes, DP-K ------------------------------------------------------------------ 06-12-2013 06:03 PM @mls_contreras12 When you press F4, you should see a screen with 4 options (Disconnect, Duplicate, Extend and Projector Only) Do you see those options? If not you can 1. Connect your second monitor while the computer is on 2. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and click Screen Resolution 3. Click Detect 4. Change Multiple Displays to Extend if you want to have an extra wide screen, Duplicate if you want to see the same image on both screens. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 09-14-2015 12:57 AM Just press F4 - You do not need the function key. (at least my laptop doesn't.) ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebo...or/td-p/519487 09-08-2014 01:44 PM I have dv6 purchased in January 2013. The model is dv6t-7000 entertainment Pavilion. I have never been able to get the dv6 to run a picture to a tv through an HDMI cable. At home I used a VGA cable for video and audio. But in Iraq and now in Afganistan VGA is not an option on my tv. Do you think I am missing a driver??

And I'm surprised nobody mentioned trying an F key to cycle through the modes. The people who got relief, changed video drivers. Pretty weird. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebo...2673015/page/2 And there are a lot of different configurations for that family. That should make life interesting. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pav...s.53642.0.html Paul |
