Troubleshooting

No signal on the DVI display

Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to a powered USB port. Verify that the VGA cable is firmly connected to the source device and the converter. Confirm that the display is set to the correct DVI-D input source. Try a different USB port or power adapter.

Flickering or distorted image

Check all cable connections for looseness. Ensure the USB power is adequate; try a different USB port or power source. Lower the screen resolution in your operating system's display settings to see if the issue resolves.

Unsupported resolution message

The converter supports up to 1920x1200. Reduce the resolution in your computer's display settings to a compatible level, such as 1920x1080 or lower.

Converter not powering on (USB light off)

Try a different USB port on your computer or a dedicated USB wall charger. Ensure the USB connector is clean and free of debris.
