Laptop won't connect to TV by HDMI

[Guest]

I've been using a Samsung UN22F5000 TV as an external monitor for my Asus Vivobook by using a simple HDMI cable to hook my laptop up to the TV. Today I tried to swap out my HDMI cable for a shorter one that wouldn't drape over my desk, but when it didn't work I figured the new HDMI cable was just a dud. But now when I try to switch back to the old HDMI cable it still doesn't work. I tried connecting a different laptop to the TV and that worked fine, but when I tried hooking my laptop up to a different TV that was fine too. For both of these scenarios I used my old HDMI cable. For whatever reason the combination of my laptop and my TV just doesn't work. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I tried turning my TV off, unplugging the HDMI cable, turning it back on and then plugging it into the laptop. My laptop will make the chime that it detects a device but then will immediately make the chime for a disconnected device.

EDIT 2/18: I had to send my laptop off to Asus (twice, ugh) to get hardware replaced. It was covered by my warranty but I had to pay for shipping the first time around.

Hard to say what's wrong. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics driver, but not sure if it will solve the issue.

I tried that too, and unfortunately it didn't work.

What other video in ports available on the TV?

There's another HDMI (which also doesn't work) and component inputs.

Unfortunately, no other ideas.
You can try restoring the laptop to factory state (backup the needed files before that).
This way you would rule out the laptop.
If money are not an issue, you can try http/www.amazon.com/HDMI-to-Component-Audio-Cnvrtr/dp/B00BW0XXZ6
