Anyone know where can I find a instruction on tearing apart the unit? Bootup, but no hdmi output.
Thanks,
Ok, found it in case someone needs it.

Let me ask the question in a different way - is there a way to connect the Samsung 10.1 tablet to my TV?

What do you mean by you bought a cable? There isn't an official cable as such, just the connector (OK so it has about 3 to 4 inches of wire on it, but cant really be called a cable) there was a cable however for the first Tab, which although it will fit, will not work with the 10.1.
Have you got any images or the listing itself you can provide a link to?
You need the HDMI hookup to connect the 10.1 to your TV. You can find them online. I've attached a picture of what the official Samsung HDMI adapter looks like.
Thanks- i will check on line and will purchase the connector.
Alright punks. Googles didn't provide me with any information so i'm hoping i can find some here. I have one of those 1/8" cables that split into s-video, rca R/L. I can't find a setting in the OS but was just curious if anyone has experimented with this or knows anything about any video-out capabilities NOT involving a dock.
Ok so Im pretty sure 99% of you will not be able to help me because I believe I have a specific problem with my television. I have a Panasonic TC-P46S2 46 inch plasma and have been struggling with MHL.
When I plug in the adapter, not only does it not properly fit on the screen, I get random gray fuzziness every once in a while. So as far as the fit of the screen, I have tried every option that I can on the TV to get it correct; eg: Stretch, zoom, full, h-fill. Nothing corrects it and my screen in every direction is cut off by a few inches. This is a 1080P TV but should be able to display a 720P image perfectly. I am using a PNY MHL adapter.
The only thing I can think of is that the galaxy screen is not exactly a 720P resolution and the TV can not correct for it. Any ideas? Any ideas on the random gray fuzziness disconnects as well?
Did you try the phone and connector on another tv? Or another connector onto the same tv?

I have a monoprice adapter coming but don't have another HDMI source to check the phone and adapter with. If the new adapter does th same thing I'll assume its the TV. Unless someone offers some other advice.
I'm using the official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter that I bought direct from samsung.com due to all of the fakes out there. My main issue I've seen is with Netflix but I'm sure it happens all over. I'm using this on an older 720P TV but the screen does not fit exactly. The outputted picture is a little larger than the TV's display so it cuts off a little on the sides. It is not completely unwatchable by any means but still sort of aggrivating. I don't know how to change the size of the picture being output. DPI change? I don't know what size to make the DPI for a more appropriate 720P picture.
Has anyone else had any issues with anything like this? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This is probably just overscan which is normal for a TV (as opposed to a Monitor). It has to do with the fact that old signals/tvs were not completely reliable so they just snipped a bit off the edges to compensate. Roughly... Wikipedia has an article about it.
In my experience there is no easy fix. I've found that no matter what I do I either end up with a black ribbon around the edge or I lose some picture to overscan.

Solution. Get a 1080p TV. Haha. But seriously, you tried all picture settings on TV? If that doesn't work then more than likely you will have to live with it. I dont think DPI changes will fix it. And how the heck did you score a mhl2.0. I've had one in my cart for two months and it is still backordered. Ugh.

Lol your answer is more heart breaking than you can imagine. I have a glorious 60" 1080p panel that is in storage right now because I'm having some work done in the house so I'm using my old backup TV. But....I picked up the adapter right from Samsung for 20$ with their coupon from my note 3 purchase. I will try it on a 1080p eventually I was just curious if anyone had any ideas. Thanks for your input and I hope you get yours soon!
Edit--I'm sorry to report that after further testing the below is no longer working for me. It's strange that initially the audio glitch disappeared but I probably shouldn't have posted in haste. So following this I decided to try taping both pin 13s on both sides of the hdmi cable. I tried it again on my test tv and roku box first and this time it might be worth noting that a new message appeared on the tv saying "unsupported mode". This gave me some optimism to try it on aftv with both sides taped but i still have the same glitch when i power off my tv while leaving aftv on. If anyone has any insights, I'm listening. BTW--I didn't just come up with this concept. It does fix certain issues with older tv sets and newer set top boxes but my bedroom tv has something else going on i think.
I thought I'd tentatively share my working solution for cec on my bedroom aftv. I posted in the past that my bedroom tv absolutely MUST be powered on first before AFTV or the audio from every video i play will cut in & out indefinitely until i reboot aftv. This is extraordinarily annoying, especially since i have boot menu so the reboot process takes even longer. Someone isolated the problem as bad cec support on my bedroom tv. Looking into it, I saw you can remove or bend pin 13 on hdmi cables to kill cec. This seemed a little reckless so here's what I did...
I experimented with an old and unused roku box. I took a tiny sliver of electrical tape and carefully covered pin 13 on the hdmi cable. It took me like 7 times to get it perfect. Then i tried it with my roku box and everything worked fine.
So then i tried it on aftv with my old cec-impaired tv and it fixed my issue! Finally!
Only thing I wonder is the material i used. It's just a piece of electrical tape which should stay in place because this particular tv is mounted tightly to the wall with no side inputs (very difficult to plug in hdmi). Not that heat should be much of a factor since electrical tape should withstand but does anyone know of any reason this material might adversely affect the TV? All is working fine so I'm not trying to be pessimistic but if anyone with advanced knowledge of hdmi/cec has any info to add please let me know here. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this info, I fortunately do not suffer from this problem but this is really great info. Thank you for the informative post
