Laptop to Plasma via DVI & HDMI, worked but isnt any more.

Got an issue with a laptop that just 3 hours ago was outputting via DVI -> HDMI.

I've not seen this setup so am just looking for a brainstorm of things to check.

- check the cable at both ends
- check the TV is set to the 'computer source' (DVI/VGA/HDMI)
- check the resolution of the PC is one that is supported by the TV (right click on desktop > properties > settings tab)
- make sure the refresh rate is set to something the TV can handle (I have mine set at 75hz)
- not ideal, but if they have an old monitor with a VGA cable, it might be worth checking to see if that works
- make sure the output on the laptop is set to TV/PC Monitor (FN key & F5 on toshiba laptops)

any more suggestions?

Sure it supports 75Hz via HDMI? Try 60

Check the laptop is outputting to the correct video output.

Well, if it WAS working 3 hours ago and isn't now, either they have changed something or the screen/input has died...
