HDMI port on G500

[cn73]

I buy this woderful notebook with win 8.1 , all works fine, but... the hdmi port seems is not working... nothing appens when i plug the hdmi cable... the tv doesn't recognize the pc... i don't think is a broken port, i think some driver or bios misconfiguration...can you help me please? My video card is the intel 400, i have latest updated driver..

edit: i just read this topic: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/G500-no-output-on-HDMI/m-p/1510940/highlight/t...

Solved... I just used another hdmi cable, with a plug slightly longer... in fact the socket on g500 is  slightly recessed inside than other normal devices...
