Hello to all, I have connected the unit to a Toshiba and a Samsung smart tv. I get a blue screen which says no signal? what can be wrong?

Use the input button on the remote to put in on the correct slot the hDMI cable is in the tv. For instance I have mine in hDMI2 slot so I have to hit the input button on my remote until I see hDMI 2. Hope this helps.

When you turn the unit on the blue screen should turn off. If not turn the unit off and on again.

Check the previous answers as they have good suggestions. The converter is powered by a USB cable. Check the rear of your TV or the instruction manual to see if the TV has a USB port. If it does, plug the USB cable into the converter and the TV. If you have the correct input on the TV and the correct output on the Toshiba, you should get a signal. If your TV does not have a USB port, you will need a USB AC adapter to plug the converter into a wall outlet. Check the converter specs to see what adapter voltage you need.

I had the same issue until I realized the unit had to be plugged into a power source via the USB in order to work. Mine has worked great ever since. Have you tried that?

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

I had a similar problem. First the screen was blue then completly blank. I took it to a sony service center and they had to replace the ribbon cable that feeds the screen. Seems this is a common defect.

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

It should work. Only reason it shouldn't be working is if the HDMI port on the Blue Ray is not giving enough power. If you do get it, I suggest trying it on a TV with HDMI and try connecting it to a VGA Laptop

I would recommend speaking to a Samsung support representative, who likely deals with this issue often. It would all really depend on whether i: IOGear has made the driver generic. and ii: Samsung TVs are set to receive non-native bluetooth adapters. However, I am confident that the TV would accept the adapter, but to be sure, check with Samsung support or user forums.

I have the same problem but it's most likely the TV that's the issue. No matter what output I put it on it drops the signal while the other two tvs I have connected work completely fine

I'm having the same problem and it's intermitent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, I have to turn the TV on and off several times and then it will work. Then sometimes the TV just turns on by itself. We have a Samsung technician coming tomorrow to check it out - hopefully I can post the solution...

I purchased this unit but it arrived as a DOA (Dead On Arrival)...Returned it and bought a Samsung!

I just tried 85 (press TV Power and 85 at the same time). It works...I have a Samsung BD-1600 blu ray player and Proscan HDTV (not sure what model).

I understand that there is a firmware update that supposedly fixes this issue. Also, it is my understanding that TV must be hooked up to initially set up and play audio CDs and SACDs. As I'm only interested in audio playback, this is important to know. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps L.Go since you have the unit and have played the disks.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately I do not know why the card would blue screen. If you have the correct drivers installed and it is still blue screening then you can open an rma for a replacement. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

I have Xfinity and have signal issues too, however, I took my comcast equipment back and picked up a Samsung Smart Media box that works as a smart hub and cable box, picked up a cable card to use in the samsung box. My picture improved remarkably. I am still getting some channels with "weak or no signal" on a number of channels. I am going to try this device.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

My set never had the picture issue prior to the issue of the tv switching off entirely and not coming back on. I tried the side power buttons, and I also called Toshiba customer support whom walked me through holding down the power button and unplugging the tv for a while, etc. They were unable to help, so they directed me to my local repair shop. Called them, they seemed helpful, were supposed to order a new power supply for the TV. Haven't heard back from them...but after leaving the tv unplugged for a day or two, I plugged it back in and its worked ever since like a charm...have no idea what the problem was, but it works now...just hope it stays this way.
