HP Laptop 15-da0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am having trouble connecting my PC to my TV screen.

 

I have already installed the Miracast app onto my PC and smartphone some few weeks ago, and it was initial success. I was able to connect both my devices to my TV.

 

My problem is, seemingly every other day, I am having issues connecting my computer to the TV (today, for instance). I did not have an issue with it yesterday, or the day before, or anytime last week (as I can recall properly). I'm experiencing this issue right now, but I have no trouble connecting my mobile phone to the TV.

 

It leaves me stumped as to why my phone is able to connect to the TV, but not my computer. And just yesterday, I was able to connect my computer to the TV just fine without any issues. Today, there's an issue with it.

 

Is there any way that I can solve the issue of whenever my computer is unable to connect to the TV? I have tried to restart it, and still no avail.

@Angel_114 There could be a possible intermittent hardware failure, to identify the same, I suggest you perform an extensive h/w test using the below steps:

Install the latest version of the HP Hardware diagnostics (UEFI) on your device using this link: Click here for details

  • Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
  • Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
  • On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests.
  • Click Extensive Test.
  • Click Run once, or Loop until error.
  • While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component display on the screen.

If a component fails a test, write down the failure ID (24-digit code) for when you respond back to us.

Product number: 3VN31UA#ABA

 

I have been able to connect my device to my television successfully through Miracast, which works very well on my PC as well as on my mobile phone.

 

My main issue is that some days, my PC has been unable to connect to the TV, while other days it works without any issues, and I only want to find a way to ensure a stable connection between my PC and the TV screen.
