Trouble connecting a monitor/project hp pavilion dv6

Cant get display on both screens. Initially screen shrank on connecting monitor but have fixed this by changing the resolution. Have selected Duplicate on both screens in the "connect to a projector" but sill blank on the monitor. Compure is recognising the monitor as it is showing in the list of devices/printers. Baffled.

I understand that you have connected a second display but have selected duplicate but it remains blank.
Initially the screen shrank which you resolved by changing the resolution.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you tried using the Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 7)?

Connecting multiple monitors to my HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook

I am trying to connect two Asus V-238H-P monitors to my laptop. I have had just one of the monitors in the past and got the second today. I connected the first one to my laptop with the VGA cable and it worked wonders. Now, since the HDMI and VGA ports are too close together on the notebook to use them simultaneously, I got a VicTsing USB 3.0 to VGA adapter to use for one and am using HDMI for the other. The problem is that the monitor connected to the adapter is not getting a signal. When I power on the monitor it says " NO VGA SIGNAL" and goes to sleep. The monitor connected to the HDMI is working fine.
I don't know if the adapter is the problem or if the USB port is the problem. When I go into the Screen Resolution (Windows 7 64-Bit) window, it can detect the display on VGA but when I extend the desktop to the display, nothing happens.
Apologies for the paragraph, thanks in advance.

I understand that when you connected 2 monitors, one with the HDMI connection ( works fine) and one with the USB adapter you are getting a no signal message on the USB connected one. Here are two links I believe will assist you.

Garmin Forerunner 210 keeps connecting/disconnection when plugged in HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd

I have a problem connecting my Garmin Forerunner 210 (GF210) to my HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd. I know the problem is with the laptop, because i tried several other laptops and on those it works well. When i connect the device, windows installs the drivers. so far so good. When the drivers are installed, the laptop recognises the GF210 and it connects. A window pops up letting me choose what i want to do, but before i can decide the device is disconnected and connected again. It goes on and on like this.
On onther laptops the GF210 is seen in the 'Computer' section as a external harddrive.
My laptop is running on Windows 7 64-bit and all the latest updates from windows are installed.
Does anybody know an answer to this problem?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello again HarmR,
It is good to hear back from you!
Since you have already applied the document above with no success, I recommend changing the drive letter of the Garmin Forerunner 210. This can be done by following the steps of this document on how to Change, add, or remove a drive letter.
Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below in order to recognize a USB device in Windows 7:
Step 1. Click Start
Step 2. Click Control Panel
Step 3. Click Administration Tools
Step 4. Click on Computer Management
Step 5. Click on Disk Management
*** If it was not seen there, go to 'Action' on the menu bar, click on 'Rescan Disks' and it should come up. If it does show here does it have a drive letter assigned? If not follow the instructions below:
Step 1. Right-click on the removable drive
Step 2. Click on Change drive Letter...
Step 3. Assign a drive letter
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Trouble connecting second monitor (MBP late 2011)

Hi guys! I'm Nico and as you can see from the title i'm having problems connecting a second monitor to my macbook pro late 2011.
I have a mini display port to hdmi adapter that works perfectly fine (I use it with my HDTV), and because I also have an Asus external 22" monitor I bought a hdmi/vga cable
(http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171010746825#ht_2700wt_1144)
so I could use my mini display port to hdmi adapter without buying another adapter.
This is what I do:
1- connect the vga cable to the Asus monitor
2- connect the other end of the cable (hdmi) to the mini display port to hdmi adapter
3- connect the mini display port to hdmi adapter to my macbook pro
But nothing works! My Mac is plugged to the power as well. I've tried to check in the monitor setting but nothing shows up, and even doing "detect display" still nothing works.
I've also tried to reset the pram. But without luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nico

Any idea guys?

Trouble connecting Dell monitor to macbook pro

I'm trying to hook a Dell u3011 to a 2011 macbook pro. I've got a DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort cable connected, as well as the USB cable, but the monitor gets no signal and displays a "No Displayport Cable" error message. I've double-checked the connections and the input setting in the monitor's menu. I'm not currently able to test either the HDMI or DVI connections because I lack the necessary cables/adapters. Any ideas what's going on?
2011 MacBook Pro 15"
Quad 2 Ghz i7
8 GB RAM

Hi,
I am sure your problem must have been sorted out by now, but for all current and future buyers for the dell U2414H and having an apple computing device, mac, macbook, pro etc, the monitor works perfectly out of the box when I connected with a mini DP(thunderbolt port) to HDMI output (U2414H), it just ran out of the box, without any issues, it even worked simply for my bootcamp windows. So no need to fret before purchasing one, simply go ahead and get it, it's the Monitor with most appealing edge giving you only a screen to view at, I was also considering between the U2412M and the U2414H, I think I've made a great choice.
Cheers,

Connecting two monitors to my HP Pavilion p7-1415 destop

I just got this new p7-1415 and I decided to use my old HP w1858 monitor and a new HP w2072a monitor. The computer has two DVI ports so I tried to connect the second monitor with a VGA to DVI adapter like i did the first one but it didn't work. So I ordered a DVI-D dual link cable ( this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8SY5G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 ).
But it still isn't connecting. Please help me.
I just got this computer brand new about over a week ago.

Hi kishap8,
Have you made changes in the display settings to make the PC use both monitors? It doesn't extend the screen on it's own.
Here is an HP Support document on how to change display settings: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03366869&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5309983
And here are a couple videos (for Windows 7 that is very similar to Win 8) on how to work with multiple monitors:

Trouble connecting external monitor to new MacBook

Just today I bought a new MacBook with Leopard, and also bought an external monitor (LG brand). I hooked it up as directed: an adapter from the mini-dvi port to a dvi cable, and the other end of the dvi cable in the back of the monitor. When I turned it on, the monitor was displaying the background picture on my desktop and the dock, but none of the folders and documents on my desktop were showing. Also, the cursor wasn't showing. I tried opening a document in Word, and that did not show up on the monitor. I called the company and they said the monitor should work with a Mac, but that I should get help from Apple because none of them are familiar with Macs and it is probably something I need to change in the display settings on the MacBook. I've never used an external monitor before, and know nothing about this. Do you think I need to return this monitor, or could someone tell me what to try to make it mirror the desktop? Thank you.

Your monitor is working exactly like it is supposed to in extended desktop. Nothing will be on it unless you drag something to it. Open Displays in *System Preferences*. With the external monitor hooked up a control screen for each display will show on the displays. Use Arrangement to drag the external to whichever side you want to have it on. I use mine on the left so my mouse enters the screen in the correct side. You can also use the external in mirrored mode where everything is the same on both monitors. The easy way to switch between mirror and extended is the F7 key.

NB200-10Z trouble connecting external monitor

Hi,
I tried to connect my NB200-10Z to my LCD TV using a VGA-DVI plug. Now I connected my DVI cable to the plug and then the TV.
For some reason the TV is not recognized by the netbook. I tried the FN+F5 button and it only shows the lcd - related to the netbook display.
I thought perhaps I need a display driver update, but it seems I have the latest version (6.14.10.4926)
Rebooted the system as well, no effect.
I used to have my other laptop connected to this TV before, so the problem must be with this netbook.
Any idea's??
Appreciate your thoughts...
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Simon,
"Good" to hear I am not alone in this.
In fact I recently bought an NB305 and also am not able to connect this to my TV. (like you I too was used to connecting another laptop to my screen - hence the DVI cable).
The windows+p button did not do anything for me. The TV recognizes that something is connected as it goes into a sort of "waiting" mode - and says "disconnected" once I disconnect the cable again, so I believe it is a software issue.
On the NB305 there is a very nice software manager that ensures you have the latest version of all your software. Not sure what could be the problem.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
(PS: the TV doesn't have a VGA input)
In the meantime I will try connecting to another TV.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Connecting an External Monitor to a HP Pavilion 15t-n200

I have a HP Pavilion 15t-n200 laptop computer and I'm trying to hook up an external monitor.
I tried connecting directly to a monitor with an HDMI cable and this didn't work. So I bought a HDMI to VGA adaptor, and still no luck.
In both instances, I hooked up the monitor and pressed the F4 key to select how I select the other display. But none of the choices: Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen Only seem to work. In fact, nothing happens when I make any of these selections.
Am I missing a step?

JKinnicutt wrote:
Still no luck.
I updated the BIOS and the video drivers and it's still not working.
Pressing Fn F4 opens the selection for how I want to view the external monitor. And clicking something makes the laptop screen go black and then back on. (Unless I select Second Screen Only, then the laptop screen stays black). But the external monitor never displays anything.
What is your operating system?
Follow this document -
Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
Go through Page 23, 24 in this manual
NOTE:
To see the computer screen image on an external VGA monitor or projected for a presentation, connect a monitor or projector to the computer's VGA port.
To connect a monitor or projector:
1. Connect the VGA cable adapter to the HDMI port.
2. From the monitor or projector, connect to the VGA port on the computer
3. Press f4 to alternate the screen image between 3 display states:
● View the screen image on the computer.
● View the screen image on the external device (monitor or projector).
● View the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and external device.
Each time you press f4, the display state changes

Connect 2 monitors to HP Desktop (HP Pavilion 500-130d)

I would like to connect 2 monitors to this desktop (HP Pavilion 500-130d), 1 via DVI and 1 via VGA
Is this possible?
thanks!

Hi,
Cables made by different manufacturers may deliver different results but the shorter cables say under 15" should produce the same quality signals. HDMI has different specifications for the different version levels.
I have yet to see any difference in picture quality between DVI-D and HDMI with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. If the color depth is greater than 24 bits using DVI then need to use DVI dual link to keep up with HDMI.

How do I operate multiple monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t?

Hello HP Forum,
I am looking to operate 2 monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t that currently has GeForce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i. I am not a computer technician and only semi-tech saavy (less than more). I was told I needed a video card; however, I don't know what I need nor how to install it. Can anyone tell me what I type of video card I need to purchase (and why) and then point me to a video or instructions on install?
Further, what would it take for a computer to operate 3 monitors? Would this computer capable of operating 3 monitors? And what would that entail/how does it compare to installing options for 2 monitors?
Thanks for your help guys!
Cheers

HP Pavilion DV6; Black Screen & Atikmpag.sys BSOD with external Monitor

Hello Guys.
I have HP Pavilion DV6 Core i7 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Graphics Card. Two weeks ago, I started getting continous Atikmpag,sys BSODs. The operating system also started giving me warnings about the hardrive. After a few days, the BSODs got more frequent. Then one day, I was doing normal stuff on my PC and the Display Driver crashed. Instead of recovering, the PC froze. I forced restart my PC but it got worse. The display of my laptop went black. I connected the laptop to external monitor which detected the display. When I tried to load the windows, it started giving me the Atikmpag.sys BSOD on the start up. Now the operating system works fine in the Safe Mode but with nothing on the laptop's screen. The soultions I have tried so far are.
-Reinstalled the windows thrice
-Removed the drivers and installed the updated ones a bunch of times.
-Rolled back the bios to an earlier version
-Removed the hardrive and tried to load it from an operating system installed on external flash drive
-Tried loading the PC with linux on external flash drive
-Opened the laptop and cleaned it thoroughly
-Removed all the components and plugged them one by one.
-Removed the old Atikmpag.sys in system32 folder and expanded it with the latest ones.
-Installed every thing fresh from HP website
None of these tricks have given me any luck yet. The only way, I could use the operating system in normal mode, is to delete the atikmpag.sys file in safe mode and then log on back in normal mode. I also analysed the minidump file through window debugger and it says that atikmpag.sys is causing this crash with the TDR message. I did all these with an external monitor as the display of the laptop is black since that day.
Below are the detailed specs of my laptop.
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit) Home Premium
Version: 6.1.7601
System Model: HP Pavilion Dv6 Notebook PC
Processor: Intel Core i7 Q 721 @ 1.60 GHz
Bios Version/Date: Hewlett- Packard F.29, 11/7/2011
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 6GB
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB
I have tried almost every solution available on these forums but still have not gotten any where. I am wondering how could the display, graphics card and hard drive stop working at the same time .
I would really appreciate if someone colud help me through this problem.
Thank you
P.S. Kindly ignore my English mistakes as it is not my first language.

Hing conected to monitor case and wires broken on HP Pavilion dv6-6c13cl

Hello,
I have a monitor with broken hing/monitor case and the wires that connect the monitor to the computer is also broken. (I know I droped it in is such way that the monitor is okay but the hings broken from over extension.)
I need to replace the monitor case. The monitor works but the wire that comes out of it is in bad condition, needs either repair or placement.
Basically what I need are
1. The part number of the case with the hings.
2. The wire that connects the monitor to the computer, Or I can replace the monitor and I have found p/n from this forum which is 665334-001 I belive.
Thank you

You need one of these:

Your display part nos are listed on page 31 of the Manual:

The whole screen assembly with hinges is not a single part; you have to order multiple parts.
Here is a complete screen assembly with hinges and the cable for $107 plus shipping:
