Cant connect laptop to TV. :(

[Tedsterb]

OK So I have a mini display to HDMI cable that doesnt work. I have a MBP unibody from early 2009. TV is a Vizeo 37 inch, 720p. Are there settings on the laptop that I have to mess with? Ughgh.
Thanks.

Okay, as you seem to post around:

What exact cable(s) or adapter(s) do you use and from who did you get it?
What does the TV say? Is there an image or nothing? Have you tried different HDMI inputs on the TV? What does the manual of the TV have to say about that issue?

I have a mini display to HDMI cable, got it off of Amazon. Just a blue screen on my TV and says "no signal".

Did you try another HDMI input in your TV? Do you have another HDMI-in capable device at reach? Are you on the correct channel?
Can you try another MDP - HDMI adapter or cable?

Have you set the display settings on your MBP to span or mirror the display? Does the MBP recognize your tv in display settings? Is it set to the correct resolution for your tv?

I dont see a span or mirror setting on my Display Settings. I've clicked on Detect but it doesnt see or recognize it. My MBP flashes a few times but nothing comes up on the TV.
