3. Switch your television to the correct input if it doesn't do so automatically.

4. Check for a video signal being sent from your HP Mini. If the video signal is not automatically sent, you can enable it under the Display properties located in your computer's control panel. Cloning your desktop allows the same image displayed on your HP Mini to also be displayed on your TV. Extending the display allows you to use your HP Mini display and TV as two separate monitors.
