    Hello,

    I'm trying to utilize my HDMI out port on my M17x. When I plug in my monitor or my television, the laptop does not recognize that anything is hooked up to it. I've rebooted, tried Fn F6 but nothing seems to work for it. I was hoping someone would have suggestions.

    The port did work early on when I first got it. However, I only used it a couple of times. I have no idea what I've done to perhaps disable it or toggle it off.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks much.
