I am a bit stumped as to why my new samsung Tv LCD LA40M81B will not keep receiving the signal from my laptop HP Pavilion ze5600. It seems to find the signal for a while then turn off as if searching for a new signal. I am connected through a monitor cable male to male to the pc input on the tv. Sometimes the signal stays on the tv if i switch between the tv signal and the pc source. It is probably a silly question but I am stuck so any help is much appreciated.

Cheers in advance

Check the cable to see if there are any bends etc. Possible to test that cable elsewhere? Deathwish (143)

I had a check on the cable and it seems ok. I am not sure as to the type. Its the same pins as the spare monitor would fit into. Might try and fix it with a hammer!
