HDMI is not working of my first Rpi

[xaxaWOW]

Hi guys,

Yesterday, I received my first Raspberry Pi from Amazon.
I want to use XBMC on it so I installed OpenElec with this tutorial http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Insta ... spberry_Pi.
The instalation went well.
But when I want to plug my Rpi to my screen with HDMI, I've nothing except a black screen with "no signal".
So I instal other software like Raspbmc, Noobs but the HDMI don't work everytime.
So I re install OpenElec and I try to modify config.txt with SSH with all the solutions here : http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=5851
But I can't have a image on my screen.
I think the HDMI plug is not broken because my tv send me sometimes " Video format not supported "

Can someone have a solution ?
Thanks you

PS : I apologize for my bad english, i'm french

What make/model of T.V.?
Did you have the T.V. switched on and the correct HDMI input selected before turning on the Pi?
Is your Pi in a case? (Some cases have walls thick enough to prevent the HDMI cable plug making a proper connection)
W.r.t. NOOBS did you try selecting HDMI SAFE MODE (Key/mode '2')?

Thanks for you reply

- My TV is a Philips, 7 years old : 42PFL9632D/10.
- Yes
- My Pi is not in a case and the HDMI plug seem to be well pluged.
- Yes I already try to switch to HDMI safe mode

O.K. One question I forgot to ask was whether the HDMI input on the T.V. has been working when fed from another HDMI source?
If the T.V. has a yellow RCA A.V. or SCART** input you could try getting NOOBS to work with composite video:

Or, if you can, (borrow and) try another T.V. with an HDMI input. It's very unusual for HDMI safe mode not to work.

The HDMI input on TV works perfectly with my DVD reader.
And my Pi works perfectly in RCA with a simple cable for the video.

I send my Pi back to Amazon
