Sizpack13/Samuel, Thanks for responding.
This journal got jumbled somehow. I'm currently booted from a Live Fedora 31 system. I did this in the hope that the monitor would work. It did NOT. When I first connected this TV (2 years ago?) I did nothing special... it just worked. I have been running with kernel option "nomodeset" for a long time. Tried removing that with NO change in behavior. "stopped working" means: before power cycle, display worked perfectly, AFTER power cycle, TV had a box "NO SIGNAL" or "NO CONNECTION". I switched IDENTICAL CABLES with no change in behavior. Cables ARE DIRECTIONAL (Saphire 15'). Connected properly, i.e., arrows on both ends pointing AWAY from the computer. xrandr -q reports: HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) > what has happend between the working / non-working state ? just a power cycle > video related updates ? none that I know of. > video related BIOS settings still okay ?

AFAIK, "known working cable" is relative: Got two boxes, both "working" with HDMI. but exchanging the cables => one box: NO picture ...(sometimes) No idea how to test a HDMI port, just some idea's: what has happend between the working / non-working state ? video related updates ? video related BIOS settings still okay ? settings from the TV still okay (maybe a hidden FW update) ? > xrandr -q > => HDMI yes/no ? see above > sound via HDMI and headphone output at the TV Sound card is broken in the system. TV sound self test worked as did the picture self test. > what type of graphics device? 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 550M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) > Does the display settings panel show the other screen? This is a KDE FC31 live system booted now. KDE system settings for the display does not show the TV.
