[ReadyNAS316] Blank HDMI output.

Hi, :)

I'm trying to console login to my ReadyNAS 316, but I just got black screen on my LCD monitor connected via HDMI port.
Of course, I connected USB keyboard and it seems to work.(pushing NumLock, CapsLock, toggles LED correctly.)
But typing any key, HDMI output seems to keep blank.

My LCD monitor & HDMI cable works well when connecting the cable to my laptop.

Is it my hardware problem ? :(
How about on yours ?

I thought it shows console when connected HDMI, like the post below,
is there any settings to enable HDMI output ??

    If you download your logs what BIOS version is shown in bios_ver.log?

    Have you tried rebooting the NAS with the HDMI cable connected?
  • Thank you for your quick reply :)

    Yes. I've tried several times.
  • Hi, It suddenly works perfectly now.
    I can see AMI bios message on boot & can log in to console.
    I tried again about 10 days ago, it worked !

    I tried several times, and it didn't be blank output again.

    I don't know why it doesn't work before,
    but I'm satisfied that it doesn't seem to be my NAS's hardware problem. :D
