NOTE: Your Video card must support digital signal output through VGA port function. Please consult with your VGA card's user manual for more information."I don't know what video card is in your laptop, you will have to do some research.

Bought mine for the other way around - PC graphics card had HDMI and I wanted to connect to an old VGA monitor. It worked but it may not work for PC VGA out to TV HDMI in. I reference the product description where it says "HDMI to VGA / RCA cable is designed to connect and transfer signals from HDMI port to VGA / RCA port". It doesn't specifically call out a reverse capability. It's so cheap however and has free shipping that you could take a chance and find our for yourself.

double check the type of HDMI cable that you require from the manufacture for your laptop.

No, i obtained this cable mainly to do that with my tv but you must have a video card specific for it. VGA does not go to HDMI with just one cord, I recommend using a VGA to VGA cord instead

If your laptop has a DVI out and your TV has an HDMI in, I suppose it would work. I would suggest that you purchase a longer cable than 3 feet for that purpose.

No. This cable is useless - you have to have an interface adapter to mate VGA to HDMI.

I purchased this adapter for a laptop that has a micro HDMI output on it. If your laptop has a micro HDMI connector on it, then this adapter will work. If you have a VGA port only on your laptop, this adapter will not work. There are VGA to HDMI adapters available on Amazon.

You have the required HDMI port, so chances are very good it will work. I run my month old Asus notebook through it's HDMI port and the TV picture is great. Only downside is I wish I could get this cable in a 15 foot length since my TV room is large.

only if your laptop has a very specific vga card, you would actually need a vga to hdmi that has a in line convertor, some people have bought this wire not knowing that it won't work

It worked perfectly for me. Previously I was going from VGA on the laptop to VGA on the monitor. With this cable I could use the HDMI on the laptop to the DVI on the monitor. Didn't have to change a thing. Plug and play.

No this cable will not concert from vga to hdmi. You need a converter box to do that. I made the mistake of buying it for the exact same computer and reason which was a waste of money. Do not buy this cable to convert from vga to hdmi. It won't do it.

Yes, the cable can be used to connect a laptop or notebook computer with a vga port to an HD television.

Your situation is exactly what I had, so yes, this cable will work. Also, if your video card supports audio, it will carry that signal as well to the TV. If your video card does not carry an audio signal, you may need to get a separate speaker system to hear from your computer, because your TV will be on the "HDMI input", but your audio may only fit to the "PC-input" on your computer.

No, just get a USB to HDMI adapter or if your laptop has HDMI you can go that route as well, some have big or mini HDMI so just look up you model and see what connections you have. This should help you!

This cable takes connection from the VGA end to the HDMI, and it should work if that's how you intend to use it.

I do NOT have that video card, but this cable converts HDMI output to VGA. On my laptop (setup at 1920*1080) resolution this cable did NOT work to an InFocus analog only projector. When I lowered the laptop resolution to 1600*900, the cable worked fine. Eventually, I switched to a different projector at the school that accepted HDMI at 1920*1080.

I cannot answer the question directly. What I can say is that I had a display port adapter that I plugged the hdmi cable into in order to connect to my TV. This cord alone suffices for that purpose. It requires no additional adapters. If display port adapter plus hdmi works, then this should work. All I know is that this cord alone makes audio and video work on tv.
