Can't view BIOS - incompatible TV?

Post by alowishus »

Hello

When I press F2 to go into the BIOS, I get a "no signal" message on my TV. I don't get any other problems with display, when the FitPC2 is booting or using Ubuntu. My only thought is that the BIOS uses a different resolution that isn't compatible with my TV... is this possible?

I'm using an HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the TV.


Thanks in advance!

Yes, it could happen. Please try a regular LCD computer monitor.

Would using an adaptor to use a different input (component, pc, scart, etc) on the TV make any difference?

Maybe with HDFury - other adapters do not change the signal.

OK... i did need to get into the BIOS because i wanted to boot from usb, but i can do that through grub, so i'll leave this for now. Very useful for future reference though..

Thanks very much for your help
