No picture on HDTV connected to laptop

[luk]

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 operating system. I recently purchased a VGA- HDMI connecting cord and when my laptop is running, I see no picture on my TV (which is set to the appropriate input, I believe). I'm not sure what to do next. Any help would be great! Thank you.

Hi, if you purchased a cable, VGA to HDMI, it will not work, you already know that. What you need is a converter, to convert the analogue signal from the VGA to digital signal for the HDMI.
