I believe that the VGA driver software may not be installed on your computer that is why it cannot detect the HDMI cable. You have to install the driver software to use either an HDMI feature or VGA. The latest driver software for this laptop model can be downloaded here:

Install the driver software and restart your computer. Refer to the user's manual here for additional information.
