Boot into safe mode or single user mode, so you get a command prompt.
Then
you could try checking your dmesg / syslog etc, and maybe uninstalling
any
nvidia drivers?

My Google searches turn up lots of problems with Nvidia.  This laptop
has onboard Intel drivers.

Can anybody point me in the proper direction?
The command lshw -c video will tell you which chip it is trying to use.
There are lots of problems with the nouveau driver, especially with
older Nvidia chips.

This laptop is running an Intel chipset.  The driver is i915.

It's strange that things work during boot showing the Ubuntu logo then
just stops around the time the desktop should appear

I have perused the lists as I can boot and run without the HDMI cable.
Nothing stood out.  I'll have to peek at it in a bit to see if it has
any Nvidia drivers. The laptop is all Intel chipset, but it's worth a look



Well does it work if you boot without the HDMI cable, then plug it in after
it boots?

That sends the screen on the laptop to a blank (possibly flashing) and the TV saying it has no incoming signal
