tv not recognizing connection from lightning adaptor to ipad

The HDMI lightning adaptor was working for some time, then last week, the connection was not recognized by the TV until the ipad was updated to iOS 13.7. However, yesterday, the same NO SIGNAL issue recurred again. Any idea how to resolve this?

The iPad can be finicky about the connection order - as the HDMI HDCP handshake seemingly only occurs upon connection of the HDMI Adapter to the iPad.


The resolution to the problem is to ensure that all TV/Monitor connections - and connection of the Power Adapter - should be made to the HDMI Adapter before connecting the Adapter to the iPad.


This connection sequence allows the HDCP handshake to enumerate and verify the attached TV/Monitor upon connection of the Adapter to the iPad. If the Adapter is instead connected prior to making connection to the TV/Monitor, the HDCP will fail to detect a compliant monitor - the result of which is no video output.


I hope this information and guidance proves to be helpful in resolving your difficulties.
