Lenovo B570 isn't recognizing a monitor through a HDMI connection.

The title says it all really, every time I connect my B570 to my Benq monitor using a HDMI to DVI cable, the laptop fails to detect anything.
When I connect the laptop and screen using the VGA to VGA cable, the laptop picks up the screen without any trouble at all. I bought a new HDMI to DVI cable and the laptop is still failing to recognise the monitor.

hi flytch
can you check if the cable works first? (you can use another computer to check it if you have)

Lenovo B570 i5 3000HD only external monitor question

Hi,
I´m considering to buy a B570, 2410M, 3000HD graphics only ( no dedicated graphics card ).
I will use the B570 as a desktop replacement, connecting an external monitor via the VGA-in, and will not use the laptop-screen at all.
If I connect an external monitor via the VGA-in, configure this as the only monitor - and unplug the external monitor, and then plug the VGA again - will the B570 remember the settings ? Will the external monitor be ON or OFF ? Do I have to reconfigure the external monitor set-up again to make it work again ?
What should happen:
Unplug - Laptop screen turns on,
Plug again: Laptop screen truns off, external monitor turns on.
Thanks.

as i know, you won't need to re-configure external monitor settings.

Mavericks isn't recognizing my monitors - manufacturer or resolution. Why?

Macbook Pro, 10.9.4, 16GB of RAM, two Genuine Apple Thunderbolt to DVI adapters.
I am trading up -- old: two 1600x1200 Samsung Syncmasters new: two Dell U2413's 1920 x 1200.
When I plug in the new monitors, I still only get 1600x1200 resolution and now stretched on these new 16:9 displays.
The Monitors dialog box says "Syncmaster" still, and 1920x1200 is not an available option under scaled resolutions.
Is there an approved way to fix this? I downloaded SwitchResX trial - but it still sees the monitors as "Syncmaster 1" and "Syncmaster 2". It allows 1920x1200 as a display resolution I can select, but in the advanced details for that view, it shows 1600x1200 scaled to fit 1920x1200?
It's really bizarre. I've never seen an Apple OS behave this way with regard to monitors - it's always "just worked instantly"

I am just going to go ahead and answer my own question here.
I forgot to mention: I am using an Adderview Pro Multiscreen Dual-DVI KVM switch -- and that had to be reset to recognize the new displays!
Once I figured that out - booyah! It "just worked"

No Sound through my HDMI connection

just hooked up my apple tv. But audio is not playing through my TV but video is working fine. Apple TV connected to TV via HDMI. Can you help please

unless the appletv is set to mute or very low level that that could never happen
to trouble shoot then I would try with another tv to rule out issues with the tv
and if the same thing happned there then I would begin to suspect a defect appletv

Laptop not recognizing 2nd monitor U410

Ever since my windows 8.1 upgrade (?) My laptop has not recognised any external monitor through my HDMI port.
Upon drive installation it will work but after a reboot i am in the same position again and have to re-install the graphics driver.
my ideapad is U410.
It Worked fine (with regard to graphics) at Windows 8.0 problems started after upgrade to 8.1
My connector on the Idea pad is HDMI whilst the connector on the monitor is DVI (i have tried two different cables both give the same result.
If anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it.

So, I need to you to try a couple of things first before we figure out the actual problem.
1. Connect the cable to your second display and navigate to Control Panel.
2. Click on Display and Then on Change Display Settings.
Q - Do you see your laptop display and the external display listed there?
If Yes, then select the external display, set the resolution and Click Ok.
(Whether you want to duplicate displays or use either one is up to you)
You can also click Identify to verify that both displays are being identified correctly.
If No, then click on Detect (if its enabled) and see if the other monitor shows up.
Let me know if anything works. We can further investigate your issue.
Also, Are you saying that your graphics drivers get Uninstalled (or corrupted), everytime you reboot?
How about your other drivers, such as audio, peripherals?
Current System - Lenovo Y510P, GT755M SLI, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 24GB SSD

Lenovo B570 Fingerprint scanner not responding/is gone and other issues

Hi,
I've been having some issues lately with my laptop. It comes with a fingerprint scanner, but as of yesterday is stopped working. Normally I can login by swiping my finger, but now it doesn't even show up. It usually has 3 users slots on the login screen. Mine, my sisters, and another slot for the fingerprint scanner. Now that third one doesn't even show up. My fingerprint scanner isn't reading anything at all, nor is it even showing up in many places. I have no idea what could have caused this. Any help?
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on my Lenovo B570.
I'm not sure if it's related, but when I went to check my drivers to see if it was a driver issue, I found that a bunch of hardware was not working due to driver issues. They wouldn't let me update, giving me a Code 31 error, saying that the file could not be found. The ones that aren't working are listed below.
Microsoft 6to4 Adapter
Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport (SSTP)
If anyone could help me fix this, I would be eternally grateful.

Lumia 1020 isn't recognized by Windows 8.1

I just installed Windows 8.1 and when I plug in my Lumia 1020, it isn't recognized. In Device Manager it shows up under "Other Devices" as "Nokia Lumia 909 (RM-877)". I understand that the 909 and the 1020 are the same so no mystery there. When I right click and tell it to update the drivers, it says that there are no drivers available.
I read in another thread where someone was having a similar problem and powering off the phone and then reconnecting it via the USB cable seemed to cause it to be recognized. I am not having any success doing that. I have gone through the steps listed by Microsoft also without any luck.
I also have a laptop running Windows 7 and my phone is recognized by that computer without any trouble at all. So, I don't *think* it is a hardware problem.
I went so far as to re-install my OS. I patched it, updated the BIOS and didn't connect or install anything else (besides the patches) before connecting my 1020. Once I hooked up my 1020, still nothing. Can't update drivers from the internet or from the downloaded drivers.
What is going on?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Look at other devices that are not loaded correctly. Not the USB
If your operating system did not come with Windows Media Player, install the Media Feature Pack for your version of the operating system.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/download-windows-media-player
Use the USB cable that came with the phone.
Connect the phone to the PC. Turn it all the way off, hold power button and slide the screen down. The phone will turn back on and it will be detected, drivers should load.
You should see it in windows explorer. It should install in 'portable devices' in the device manager.

Zen nano plus suddenly isn't recognized by WMP 11

Hi there. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on my PC. And I've had no issues with Windows Media Player recognizing my Zen Nano Plus - until this week. It just isn't. All of a sudden it's only showing as a removeable disk. I can access music files and what not - but I'd really like to be able to sync again. Has anyone experienced this problem?
I did download the new firmware and install it - but still having the issue. I'd appreciate your help and feedback thanks!

Re: zen nano plus suddenly isn't recognized by WMP n I do have that and while I can still add music and what not - I honestly just prefer going in one way through WMP . However, I did a System Restore Point today to a point to which I had thought I could still sync - and now when I open Windows Media Player it does recognize my device.
Interesting point - my device now has the udpated firmware; because I had updated last week. And AFTER I did the System Restore, and then plugged in my device, it reinstalled the driver and Windows Media Player did recognize it. So I wonder if this has to do with the new firmware installation; although WMP did stop recognizing my device prior to my updating the firmware. (That is what led me to look for the update in the first place)
However, this seems to have fixed my complaint. For the moment. Thank you for your response and suggestion!

Using monitor through tape deck

I want to use an LCD tv I have for an external video monitor. I have a Sony HVR-M15 deck connected by fire wire to my Mac. I have RCA, S-video and Component outputs on the deck. I can playback tapes on the external LCD monitor through the deck but how do I use it as a Full quality playback monitor in FCP?

After updating my iTunes it no longer acknowledges that my iPod or iPhone is connected so I can't update my music.. I have followed all of these steps and everything is working fine but this new version of iTunes isn't recognizing my devices. Any advice?

I have the same problem. Running Win 8 64Bit, updated to latest ITunes and now will not recognize phone or pad. Followed all advice from Apple (uninstall/restart/re-install, all in exact order) ... nothing. Spoke with Apple tech and walked through the whole process, but no resolution. Tech was trying to be helpful but has no way of addressing issue.

Installed Boot Camp; my external display isn't recognized upon boot in2 OSX

Man... Apple should really allow more characters in the Subject line. Here's a fuller subject:
"I installed Boot Camp and now my external display isn't recognized and receives no video upon booting into OSX (10.5.8)"
Unplugging and replugging the monitor resolves the issue until the next reboot. Had no issues prior to the installation of Boot Camp. (Windows 7 works really well, btw. I've had no issues there amazingly).
Has anybody seen this before and could point me towards the light? Thanks in advance,
Dave

I'd just like to add that this no longer works with OS X Lion 10.3.8 either... Get your **** together Apple. It's called MacBook "Pro" for a reason.
