Hi
I have a NUC DC3217IYE which ran Win 7 and Kodi/XBMC on, and have done so for around a year.
I have it connected to my TV via HDMI and everything is fine, except the sound is a bit soft. Note sound runs from TV to Home Theater System via optical cable.
My old all in one Home Theater/DVD player gave up the ghost yesterday (at least 10 years old so I can't complain). Money is a bit tight so I went for an LG BH7540TW, which on the whole is very good, nice sound and so on. I particularly liked the idea of the two HDMI in slots.
However, whenever I plug my NUC into it (twice now), something happens to it and no matter what I then plug the NUC it into I don't get anything on the screen (some displays show windows boot screen others show blank the entire time). I can get the F2 Bios screen up on an old and cheap LCD TV, but not on the Main TV (it is just blank). However if I press any keys on the keyboard I do get some sort of beeping noise which sounds a little like the noise you get when you click the mouse or press a key that isn't in the right place (if that makes sense).
I wanted to run it through the new BluRay to make it wife friendly, otherwise it is too many AV with AV options, and hopefully get better sound.
Other info
- I have tried different HDMI cables, ports and TV's.
- Have a Satelitte box running into one of the BluRay HDMI in slots without an issue (I have swapped them to see it that makes a difference)
- The only way I could get the NUC to work again was to install the OS, I used this as an excuse to upgrade to Win 8.1.
- Before I plugged the Win 8.1 version in I updated everything (drivers, software...) for Microsoft and Intel using the various updaters.
Questions are:
- Why is this happening?
- How can I get video back without doing a reinstall of an OS?
- Can I get the NUC to work through the BluRay?
Let me know if I have left any pertinent info out, I have basically been tinkering with this for the past 9 hours so (just) a little brain dead.
Thanks in advance.
