Well, either your HDMI port is electrically broken on the board (TV or<br>

software issue.<br>

Having 2 different OSes both fail to see the HDMI output sounds like a problem that isn't software to me, but read on.<span class=""><br>

According to the internet, the laptop has one of those dual-graphics-card chipsets in it. (Intel HD Graphic 530 and GeForce 960M.) I don't know which card is responsible for handling the HDMI port. According to <a href="https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/</a> , the 960M is in the NV110 class of hardware and so should be able to do HDMI with the nouveau X module. However, the nouveau FAQ says, "If you have a laptop with dual Intel/Nvidia graphics, the Nvidia card may or may not be usable. The card may be selectable via vgaswitcheroo or a BIOS option, you should check those first."<br>
<br>
So: See where the HDMI port is with lspci, maybe see what you can find in the BIOS Setup, and investigate the "vgaswitcheroo" program?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
