Hey everyone, I need some serious help here. My mom often watches YouTube on her computer that's connected to the TV. I noticed the display was off, so I tried adjusting the resolution, but now the TV says "no video available". I managed to fix it by unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable yesterday, but that trick isn't working anymore. I'm really eager to resolve this so she can enjoy her shows again. The TV is an older Hitachi model, and the computer is a very old ASUS Essentio Series. I'm not even sure how to find specific details about the computer model, so any guidance you can give would be super appreciated!

First off, if you have another TV or monitor, you could connect the PC to that to adjust the settings back to a manageable resolution. That's usually the simplest fix. If your PC has multiple HDMI ports, try switching to a different port too, sometimes that can solve the problem.
Make sure you’re on the right HDMI input on the TV—sometimes it’s as simple as that. Also, if you can, try swapping the HDMI cable for another one to rule out any cable issues. If the TV has multiple HDMI inputs, testing those might help as well.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll see if I can find another monitor to use, and I’ll check those HDMI ports too.
