Re: HDMI is unreliable with nvidia optimus on asus n53sv

 

Apologies to all, especially Michael.
It is not a software problem, rather a loose cable.
Using the same cable to connect a DVD player it worked fine.
But stretching it 5 meters to my laptop appears to cause it to disconnect one of its pins,
or possibly noise. The display is always recognised by the laptop.
Pushing the head one way and the body another way causes the display to recognize the laptop,
after that it works fine.
