I am trying to locate a monitor with HDMI direct. Agree the TV aspect may be an issue. I did read somewhere that a special driver is needed for HDMI to DVI-D.
UPDATE:
Attached HDMI monitor, LG IPS Cinema monitor, 23EA63, still not getting a signal from the NUC to the monitor. Still no fan noise. with nothing attached, the NUC power BlueLED comes on, stays on. push and hold power button to turn off does nothing.
Tried another update to BIOS with latest 0.36 from downloads site. No difference. No fan, no monitor signal. Removed ethernet card. No difference, No fan. No monitor. Still very dead.
