Troubleshooting
No signal on the display
Verify that both ends of the adapter are securely connected. Ensure the display device is set to the correct HDMI input source. Try connecting directly without the adapter to confirm the display and source device are functional. Check if the DisplayPort source device is outputting video.
Flickering or unstable image
Ensure the HDMI cable used is in good condition and properly seated. Try a different HDMI cable. Verify that the DisplayPort source is not exceeding the adapter's maximum resolution (1920x1080) or refresh rate (60Hz) capabilities.
Display is detected but shows no image
Confirm that your graphics card or DisplayPort output is enabled and configured to send a signal. In your operating system's display settings, ensure the external display is enabled and set to duplicate or extend your desktop.
Adapter disconnects unexpectedly
Ensure the latch on the DisplayPort connector is fully engaged. Check the HDMI cable connection to the adapter and the display for a secure fit. Avoid pulling on the cable; use the connectors to unplug.
