Hey I’ve seen posts of peoples HDMI ports needing to be replunged after they power their laptop on and off and while I’ve had that problem I’ve never really bothered to try and fix it. However, I am currently being driven up the wall as my HDMI cable will sometimes need to be re-plugged 1 or 5+ times for my second screen to show an image. my second screen will notice that a HDMI cable has been plugged in but will mention that no signal is detected on the failed attempts.
If I move my laptop or knock my HDMI cable the signal cuts out for about 5-10 seconds and sometimes needs to be re-plugged. When the HDMI cable has been knocked my speakers which I’ve plugged into my monitor still function as normal but no image is showing. If there is any easy fix for this I would be eternally grateful but if I need to just use a dongle then I would not exactly be up in arms about it.
