Hi Gpreece2002,
Thank you for visiting Sony Community!
"every time i connect it via HDMI to my tv"
"it just black screens and i have to restart the laptop"
To isolate the issue, I suggest you follow these steps:
- Power cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop ->push the button for 5 seconds
- Make sure the screensaver is disabled.
- Perform a clean boot.
- Check the Power Options / Power Plan of the laptop.
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Website for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Regards,
Vincent
