    Hi!

    I know, it sounds a bit weird but where is my displayport? I don't have any other displayport device around except for this brand new dp-to-hdmi adapter I wondered to attach to my LCD TV set: SIIG DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter CB-DP0062-S1.

    The problem is that nothing happens there when I'm attaching it in: TV set remains blank, no secondary monitor appears in the system, and, moreover, I don't even see any displayport output option -- only internal panel or VGA output.

    How to workout this issue? Thanks!

    I would first try updating your display drivers. If the newest Intel Graphics Driver doesn't solve the issue, it's possible there may be a problem with your port.

    Sounds like you're in Computer Only display mode. Check Windows-P or Fn-F7.
