Lenovo K1 1304 Tablet - Micro HDMI to DVI No Signal

Hi,
I'm having a problem here. I want to connect my Lenovo K1 tablet to a TV or monitor with DVI input using HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI Adapter. This should work perfectly fine since both hdmi and dvi are backwards compatible with each other and I've succesfully connected a different tablet like that before, yet I get no signal when trying to output a video from Lenovo K1 Tablet.
Micro HDMI output port on my K1 works fine since I can output signal to HDMI input on my TV but not to DVI input using HDMI to DVD Adapter and like I said this should work just fine.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

It doubt the adapter has to be HDCP "compliant", because it should just provide a mapping of pins/wires from HDMI to DVI, so any handshaking would occur between the endpoints (tablet and display device).  In case it helps, here's the pin mapping:

There are some different flavors of DVI, such as DVI-D versus DVI-I, with single or dual links - is it possible that there is a mismatch between adapter, cable, and device?

  • Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

    trying to determine which would give me the best resolution.  video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga.  would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution.  getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
    also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

    Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

  • HDMI to DVI No Signal Detected

    I have a late 2006 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.6. I recently purchased an LG LED-LCD television as well as a HDMI to DVI adaptor cable, both from Amazon (the cable is an Amazon Basics cable). When plugged in to both the laptop and the television, there is no signal detected by the television and no display detected by the laptop. I've tried each of the three HDMI ports on the television, but to no avail. I returned the cable and exchanged it for an identical one, but the problem persists.
    In searching through the forums, I've seen that quite a few people have had issues with this same setup, and I'm wondering if somehow I need more than just the cable to connect to my television (which doesn't make sense, but could still be the case). I've run a diagnostic on my laptop during startup, and found no issues with the hardware, so I'm 99% positive that I don't have a bum DVI port. At this point I'm just not sure what to do to get this to work, so any assistance would be wonderful.

    Sorry for any confusion, my last post was sent before reading your second post.
    The VGA test proves nothing about the DVI output. The DVI ports on these Macbook Pros is a combo DVI and analog VGA port (DVI-A). The DVI-VGA adapter does nothing more than connect the VGA to VGA, and does not convert the DVI to VGA. You have to use an actual DVI device to test the DVI. The 4 pins and large blade on the end of the DVI connector are the VGA pins - they can be omitted on a DVI-HDMI adapter with no harm.
    I really don't know if there could be a problem with the software on the Mac and/or TV, and the cable just fine.
    Perhaps try to seek out someone who has a working DVI-HDMI cable to try? Or try a store that will demonstrate that it works and has a money back guarantee?

  • How do I connect Monitor without HDMI (but DVI-D) to laptop with micro-HDMI?

    I have a Samsung NP900x400D-A02US laptop... the video connections are:
    - a micro-HDMI
    - a "monitor port" (which the manual says supports 15 pin D-Sub interface.. or you can connect VGA adapter),
    I would like to buy the Dell Ultrasharp u2412M which has 1900x1200 resolution.... BUT it does not have an HDMI port.  It has:
    - a display port
    - VGA input
    - DVI-D with HDCP Input
    - USB ports (but I don't think it's the kind that will allow me to hook up thge monitor to the laptop with USB)
    How the heck do I connect the 2 of these... in a way that retains the 1900x1200 resolution?    if I can't find a good way I might have to find another monitor with HDMI....
    Thanks so much for your help!   It's a bit frustrating to sort through it all....

    I ended up finding it by item #, because I would have missed it, too.  I wasn't sure if the product image was correct until I saw  this: 
    Connector on First End: 1 x HDMI (Micro Type D) Male Digital Audio/Video
    You got it figured out. Hooks up exactly like you said. HDMI and DVI will result in same picture quality, but as you mentioned, HDMI doesn't carry audio. They are the same, for all intents and purposes, in all other regards.
    The DVI cable should have thumbscrews on each end, to help secure it at each end. The Adapter I linked has 'receptors' for the thumb screws, so the connection will be secure. The monitor should have the same 'receptors' for thumb screws. The weakest point of the connection, physically, will be the Micro-HDMI, so just be careful to not put pressure on that connection. 

  • Mini or Micro HDMI?

    Alright Im getting rather upset with Lenovo here. I just bought 2 mini HDMI cables because according to the Lenovo webpage (and every webpage I can find) the K1 uses a Mini HDMI port. It doesnt. I finally pulled out all my paperwork on my tablet & read through it until I found 1 place that said its actually a Micro HDMI port. Now why does Lenovo have it listed on the specs page online that its a Mini? Can anyone verify that this tablet takes a Micro HDMI because I've already wasted money on mini HDMI's I dont want to waste anymore!

  • Wifi / networking drops as soon as micro HDMI connected

    I saw an earlier post similar to this, but it was closed without response by the original poster.
    I have a Yoga 2 Pro with the most recent available network and graphics drivers.  Whenever I plug the micro HDMI in to a working monitor (in this case a micro HDMI to HDMI connector to an ASUS 27" monitor), the network connection drops.  As soon as I unplug the micro HDMI (from either end of the connection), the network connectivity is restored.

    Really baffling.  While the HDMI cable is plugged in, none of the typical network actions fixes it:
    - Disable/renable the Wifi driver
    - Reboot
    - Uninstall/reinstall the Wifi driver
    - WIndows troubleshooter
    Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

  • Micro HDMI Cable

    About $25 at Staples & the videos from the tablet look great on our large screen TV. Has anyone else tried it?

    I hope to test tonight a 4 ft micro HDMI cable with a HDMI extender/coupler to a 30 ft HDMI cable to my Plasma TV.
    Should work fine, but I am eager to get home now.

  • Satellite A205: Dynadock - How to connect to LCD TV with HDMI to DVI cable

    I recently purchased this product and had a problem when connecting it to my LCD TV.
    I used a HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the TV. Only a small portion of the full display shows on the TV.
    I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    I also used the adaptor to VGA, plugged it into the computer input on TV, same effect. I can use VGA output on side of laptop to TV ok.
    Any ideas on how to adjust dynadock output settings?

    First of all it would be interesting to know what dynadock you have exactly; one with DVI port or one with VGA port?
    >I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    You should know that the dynadock has a own built-in graphics controller and video drivers to control the video stream.
    Therefore you should change the settings directly in the dynadock settings and not on the laptop!!!

  • Does Mac Mini's HDMI-to-DVI cable support analog DVI monitors?

    The Apple website shows that the new (late 2012) Mac Mini comes with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable in the box :-)
    The DVI video connector standard supports both analog and digital video signal modes, but not all models support both modes.
    I have an old PC monitor with a DVI connector, which is probably analog only.  Will this work with the new (late 2012) Mac Mini?  
    In other words: does Apple's HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable support all DVI monitors, or only those with a digital input?
    Many thanks!
    - Martin

    Your right about the DVI standard support both analogue and digital. The three types are
    DVI-A (analogue only)
    DVI-D (digital only)
    DVI-I (supports both)
    In this case the HDMI to DVI adaptor will only support digital DVI. This is because the HDMI port only supports digital.
    Generally monitors with a DVI port support digital DVI, if you compare the socket and pins layout on the monitor to the one on the Mac adaptor if they are the same layout then that should indicate the monitor indeed supports digital DVI.
    Note: The maximum resolution supported by the Macs HDMI port is 1920x1200, if your monitor supports a higher resolution then you should get a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor or if needed a Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI adaptor (for the highest resolutions).

  • How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?

    I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.

    You would need to get  HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

  • 2011 Mac Mini and Acer x222w monitor incompatible? HDMI to DVI adapter issue

    I am totally bummed because I just bought a new Mac Mini thinking I'd be able to use the display from my old system, an Acer x222w, which has both DVI-D and VGA connections. I hooked the monitor up using the HDMI to DVI adapter included in the box with the Mini. On boot, I could see the Apple logo, though it was not centered, and when the set up screen came up to the select language screen, it flashed quickly and then turned to snow.
    I was on the phone with Apple support for over an hour trying to troubleshoot this issue. I was a little disappointed that tech support didn't even seem to  be aware that the Mini came with an HDMI to DVI adapter. It was then recommended that I try an adapter for the mini display port, which the 2011 Mini doesn't have.
    I was able to borrow another monitor, a Dell with DVI-D, and it worked.
    I have searched for specs/requirements that might explain why the Acer monitor doesn't work while the Dell one does. I cannot find anything from Apple. I just assumed any DVI connection would work. Has anybody else encountered this problem? Most of the issues I've found on the forums involve trying to hook up to a home theater LCD TV, which I'm not trying to do. If I had known my monitor wouldn't work, I probably would have just saved up for an iMac.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts or tips!

  • Mac Mini Newbie + Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor.  Need HDMI to DVI adapter?  What cords needed?

    Mac Mini Newbie here.
    Getting the Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor for it. There is no HDMI on this monitor, but reviews said it's Mac mini compatible. 
    Do I need to get an additional cord?  HDMI to DVI adapter cable? Does the supplied short white cord inside Mac Mini packaging suffice?
    Thank you!

    No, the HDMI on Mini only support digital VGA is analogue
    Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
    No.  The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.

  • Mac mini display is flicking via HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI cable

    i have received mac mini server (mid 2011) recently. mac mini is connecting the display via HDMI port using DVI cable with a HDMI to DVI adapter.
    the display shows constant flicking. white dots/lines show randomly. it is like those signal noise when watching analog TV.
    the same display works fine and well with macbook pro (early 2008) via DVI port.
    please help. please advise.

    So you know the display is working.
    It seems to me you have a few possible problems.
    1 HDMI-DVI cable is bad
    2 DVI-cable is bad
    3 Connections between cables or computer or monitor are bad.
    4 HDMI port on the computer is bad.
    I assume you've tried #3, and re-connected cables and wiggled inputs.  So then try replacing 1 and then replacing 2 which are cheaper fixes than replacing/fixing 4.........
    FYI, I'm connect my mac mini using the same setup you describe, with no issues....also inspect the cable ends carefully to look for any problems.

  • Static using HDMI to DVI adapter on 2011 mini

    Hi,
    I bought my first Mac last week, the i5 2.3ghz mini.  I originally set it up on my TV (using HDMI), downloaded/installed the updates, and messed around a bit before deciding that a 42 inch display isn't as convenient as I thought it would be.
    Using the HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the mini I hooked it up to my 19 inch acer monitor.  While booting  can see the boot screen, but the display is very staticy.  Once it logged in I was able to barely see well enough past the static to mess around with the display settings thinking that maybe the mini was trying to push an unsupported resolution to my monitor (because I set it up on my TV at 1080p).
    I read up on the issue and it seems that some have had problems with static while waking up from sleep.  Mine has static all the time.
    By a stroke of luck I happened to have a HDMI to DVI cable on hand.  I tried it out and it displayed beautifully.  No static, works as I expected.
    So the problem seems to be the adapter that came with the mini, the DVI cable that I was originally using (the cable works with my PC), or the HDMI port on the mini itself not working well with Apple's own adapter (not likely).
    I was just wondering if anybody else has had this issue, and if they fixed it did it end up being the adapter or did replacing the DVI cable with a higher quality cable do the trick.
    Thanks,
    Corey

    I just posted a similar issue here. The weird thing is that on my system, a Dell monitor works with the HDMI-DVI adapter but the Acer monitor doesn't. Do you think getting another adapter would resolve it fo rme? What kind worked for you?
