Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help in solving the issue.
- Start by doing a hard reboot with your laptop, remove the battery and unplug its AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then test it again.
- If these doesn't work make sure your TV is set to PC mode since you're using a VGA cable. Once done press the Windows key + P at the same time and select between Extended or Duplicate on your laptop.
- Next to try is to uninstall/reinstall the graphics card driver of your laptop.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the graphics driver.
- Check also Programs and Features and uninstall anything related to your graphics card.
- Once done, download and install the latest driver from the manufacturer site.
- Reboot your laptop once the latest driver has been installed then test it again after.
- If all these will not work do try a different monitor first and your last option would be to reinstall Windows.
