I cannot get my Surface tablet to work with my Samsung HD TV using the cable provided in every possible port. Help!

It should instantly respond once the tablet and tv are turned onto the right input. Recently I have had trouble with my input to the cable connecting fully but that should not be your trouble. You may have to change the settings on your tablet to switch views to show it on a different screen.

I don't know a lot about the Surface rt and from what I have found is that the surface rt has a MICRO SIZE hdmi port and the cable your are asking about has a MINI connector.The answer would be NO...Check Amazon for a MICRO SIZE

I have the same. There wasn't anything I needed. It pretty much works or it doesn't. I work in IT and have tested about 10 different devices with the Asus device. The Samsung Note tablet does not work with this. There may be a patch coming out soon, but for now I can't make it work. Most Android devices I have tested work, most tablets and Surface devices work. iPad's don't work, but they don't support Miracast. If you have the exact model, it may be that I've tested it already. Just let me know.

Compare the USD connection edge to the third image above, showing ports on the right edge of the tablet. If you don't see an HDMI connection as shown above, or your device edge doesn't match the image above, you may have received the wrong item, one without an HDMI-out connection. (just my 2 cents)

I wish I had a better or more definite answer but in my experience the best thing to do is to attempt to reconnect the cables in different orders. Plugging the HDMI into the TV/monitor first and then into the tablet or vice-versa. I have always managed to make it connect, however it is often not the first attempt I make. Unfortunately, my research on XDA forums for the Nexus 7 (XDA forums are a good research resource, however it can be overwhelming and the friendliness of respondents is not always consistent) is that this is not the preferred adapter. That said, I have had success with this adapter, and it should technically be very similar to those recommended there.

I have almost never used this tablet. It has an HDMI port, but I have never had any of my monitors or TVs recognize it... there's no manual... I just kissed off the money I spent on this tablet

my tablet says nothing abt an hdmi cord as a part of my purchase..i don't think it's capableof a tv connection, unless it can connect with a usb prt.

Yes, the HDMI port works fine. The only problem most people are reporting with the HDMI functionality is that the driver, as shipped, does not allow the tablet display to be duplicated on the monitor/TV; you can only select "extend" mode or just the monitor/TV screen. A newer driver, available from the Toshiba support site, fixes that.Perhaps you have a defective cable?

Did u plug the adapter into the tablet then plug the power adapter directly into the adapter, once that is done plug the HDMI cable into the adapter and TV set. If that doesn't work send back the product as it maybe defective. PS. You should be using the Samsung brand adapter.

I recently changed phones and no longer use this cable. I honestly don't know about the tablet question. I did however use it with my smart TV with no issues.

I have a Surface Pro and am currently running two external monitors on it (with the tablet display not running). I downloaded Windows 8.1, which is not officially supported yet, but there is a driver available on displaylink.com that did the trick.

That's odd. We've streamed Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Youtube, etc. from a Microsoft Surface Pro without any problems with this cable. Hope this helps. :)

This cable is named inappropriately. If your surface uses the same type of adapter that today's cell phones use (they call these mini HDMI) you actually need the Blue Rigger Micro mini HDMI. I know, you would think the two minis would be the same but what Blue Rigger calls mini is too big for the HDMI connector on a cell phone or a Kindle. I hope I am making sense to you.

The Surface RT has does have HD video out port, which seems to be micro sd, whcih this would work just fine, but I would double check that it's actually a micro sd port. This will not work for the surface pro though, as the pro has a mini display port, which is way different than a micro sd port. Look here for the Mini display port: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l;=en&s;=bsd&cs;=04&sku;=A5321876&ef;_id=UV2fFwAAAaYxHjDU:20130702180415:s&dgc;=ST&cid;=262075&lid;=4742361&acd;=1230980794501410

I use it with an android tablet with micro HDMI video output connector. If the Surface tablet has a micro HDMI video output connector it should probably work. Your call.

Will not unless your tablet is HDMI capable as you can see in the photo very small port for tablet and normal for TV end. The cable itself is great

Make sure to plug in your tablet charger into the adapter. HDMI needs extra power
