I would like to know if there is any driver necessary to connect te pc and the tv via hdmi

The person that has reinstalled your windows either hasn't installed the required graphics drivers, check in device manager to make sure that the graphics driver is installed. Other thing could be with your external monitor display settings, if the graphics drivers are there press "Fn" *Function* + F7 then hit "Enter" this should swap from laptop display to external display

The fn function also doesn't work. I am not sure how to see if I have the correct graphics driver but I have 340.46 version of nvidia GeForce gt 330m and nvidia updates 10.4.0. Also have Intel hd graphics installed.

Right click your "My Computer" and go to "Manage" this will open Computer Management, go to device manager and under "Display Adapters" click the down arrow, the model of your graphics card should be there just right click it and try to update drivers, if you have the Nvidia logo in the bottom you can open Nvidia's interface and update it from there, but if these drivers are installed just make sure that your TV is on HDMI 1/2/3/4 depending on what HDMI port you have plugged it into.

I tried to update both Intel he graphics and nvidia GeForce gt 330m and it says that they are already updated

Okay make sure that your TV is on the correct HDMI source, also keep the laptop plugged into the TV and restart the laptop, it should boot straight onto the external display

It doesn't work, I am on the correct channel, I rebooted the laptop but the tv doesn't shows any image

 

[JayCee993]

Are you able to test the Laptop with a VGA external monitor? and see if that works

 

[Guimbm]

I have a vga cable, I don't know if it is the correct for the laptop but I tried and I didn't work.

 

[JayCee993]

Did you try the VGA with a Desktop Monitor?

 

[Guimbm]

I did the same way I use to do with hdmi cable. I connect one part of the vga to the laptop and the other to the TV and I choose the channel but it didn't work
