Troubleshooting
No video signal on the HDMI display
Ensure the VGA and USB power cables are securely connected. Verify that the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. Check that the HDMI cable is functioning correctly and connected firmly to both the converter and the display. Confirm the display is set to the correct HDMI input. Try a different USB port or power adapter for power.
No audio output
Confirm that the 3.5mm audio cable is properly connected from the source device's audio output to the converter's audio input. Ensure the audio output is enabled and selected on the source device. Check the volume settings on both the source device and the HDMI display.
Poor video quality or flickering
Ensure the VGA cable is not damaged and is securely connected. Try lowering the resolution on the source device. Check the USB power connection; insufficient power can sometimes affect signal stability. Ensure operating temperature is within the specified range.

Disconnect and reconnect all cables, including the USB power. Restart both the source device and the HDMI display. If possible, test the converter with a different source device or display to isolate the issue.
