Vga To Hdmi Converter Cable Not Working

Vga is analog only hdmi dvi d and display port is digital only then you now need a active converter not the passive type one s in order to convert the all digital signal to analog dvi i carries both analog and digital and a passive dvi i to vga dsub adaptor will work the extra 4 pins in a dvi i plug you see around the flat bar pin is for the analog part of things.

Vga to hdmi converter cable not working. Such a converter might also be called an adapter. A mere cable is not going to get you from vga to hdmi in an effective way. Probably because you bought the wrong thing. A simple vga to hdmi cable will not work for most video chipsets as they don t can t output a digital signal over the vga port.

This does not work at all. Active conversion is required. There seem to be people trying to sell hdmi to vga cables on the internet because they are slightly cheaper than an hdmi to vga adapter. Your title is saying hdmi vga adapter not working so what is it that the laptop is not working with the hdmi adapter or the system is not working need a little more clear info as being a hp laptop you can do a hard reset by holding the power button down until it shuts down then remove the battery and ac power adapter now hold the power button down for 10 15 secs release now plug the ac.

I m trying to connect a second monitor to the hdmi output by way of a hdmi to vga cable. It is an old 10 years monitor but works ok if i plug it into the dvi vga converter. And no the screws are only there to hold the connector in place. If it is an hdmi to vga cable and not an hdmi to vga adapter then it will never work.

I have one monitor plugged into the dvi output via a vga converter thing this works fine.
