Troubleshooting
No video or audio output
Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the source and the converter. Verify that the USB power cable is connected and the USB port is providing power. Check that the display is set to the correct USB-C input and supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Confirm the source device is outputting an HDMI signal and the resolution is supported.
Intermittent signal or poor performance
Confirm the USB power cable is connected and providing adequate power. Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are sharing the same power source if using a hub. Try a different USB port or a more powerful USB power adapter. Check the HDMI cable for damage.
Display shows incorrect resolution or refresh rate
Verify that the source device's display settings are configured to output a resolution and refresh rate supported by the converter (up to 3840x2160@60Hz). Adjust the display settings on the source device accordingly.
Touch functionality not working (if applicable)
Ensure the display supports touch input over USB-C and that the correct touch drivers are installed on the source device. The converter itself supports touch, but the source and display must also be compatible.
