    For this situation check the cable. This picture details what the 4 rings maybe. In one case the ground is in wrong position and WILL NOT work(MP3 player).

    Also... In the beginning, if there was nothing connected to HDMI, the pi would switch to TV mode automatically. But nowadays, IIRC, you need to specify explicitlyA in config.txt that you want TV output enabled....

    Hmm. if you say you remove the HDMI cable, that means you at least HAVE an HDMI monitor. So then you can log in and use the "tvservice" program to set the mode. Look in the manual or help for what you need to specify for TV mode.
