Between the time it worked, and the time it didn't, did you change anything on the computer, such as install new software, make configuration changes, etc? Also, are you sure the flatscreen works ok? Have you tried connecting it to another computer?

Hello,

Try restarting the computer with the HDMI connected and the flatscreen running. Some times the OS wants all the screens connected when it starts. If it is Windows the right click on the screen and select displays and see if you can see both displays connected. But first try the power it on with the HDMI connected.

i would say something could be wrong with the HDMI cable or u need to check your Display settings and make sure that it says your connected and u can press "Detect Displays" and t might pop up. if nothing happens then i would try a different HDMI cable or maybe your display port is broken.
