Hi!

A have an HP Pavilion laptop with broken screen. I connected external display using HDMI, but it shows nothing until windows loads. I mean, display by HDMI is not showing bios, grub etc. I think, HDMI connects to video card and video card driver stars starts only on windows. 

Is there any way to change HDMI settings or anything?

Or how to connect HDMI to 40 pin (30 pin screen and 10 pin webcam) connector on motherboard, previously used by built-in screen? Is there any adapters or anything?

 

Thanks in advance!
