Question

HDMI Splitter not working

by Jul 12, 2018 11:59AM PDT

Hi! I bought a HDMI Splitter (1 input, 4 outputs). I use it for 3 TV. This setup worked this way for about 2 weeks. After, my PC, or other laptops, PCs cannot see it. I tried to connect the HDMI splitter to a TV box and somehow it works but I want to be able to use it with a PC. Can I get some help?

Just guessing here ...

What happens when you connect "your PC, or other laptops" to each TV individually?
What do you mean by "my PC, or other laptops, PCs cannot see it"?
Maybe you have the HDMI out configured for a resolution that the TVs can't display.
Best I can do with so little information.

But, when I connect to each TV individually it works.
I tried to connect with another laptop, PC, it doesn't work.

Back to the maker and seller. You can look for any reset feature and try unplugging it for 10 or so minutes (all HDMI as well as power) but at just weeks old, you have a warranty to use.

This is the second. I changed it one time. In their shop everything just works perfectly. And I've tried all the stuff: handshake, unplugging.

It would be strange to cart all your gear to the shop.

Next time, label each cable end so it's EXACTLY the same setup.

If the maker and seller can't resolve, change to another make and model.

What gear exactly?

How can you be serious about asking for help but fail to list every make/model involved? Also include the splitter info. Understand, all gear does not behave the same(!)

Okay...
