If you know for sure it's not your monitor, then it has to be a computer defect in your video chip. Send the computer back and get another one (if you are still within the time parameters).

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

You might be using the wrong port. The ports on top are not connected. You have to use the ones on the bottom.

I would call them- They always answered any questions I had. There are 2 areas to plug in the back. Try the lower one.Hope this helps

As Althea stated, there are 2 connections available. One on the top (on the motherboard itself) and one on the bottom (on the video card.) The ones on the top are disabled because the ones on the bottom are the active ones. Be sure to use the bottom ones. They pass through the video card which provides your more powerful graphics experience. No need to return it.

Check for loose wiring/loose fittings first. Second would be to try changing the resolution on screen. Last would be your monitor is going out. Let's hope that's not it.

Not 100% sure, but it might be because there are different kinds of DVI. This worked well for me with a DVI-D connection, but DVI-A and DVI-I also both exist. That's just my guess though.

You should be able to use a DVI cable with the audio cable giving you sound and picture I had the same problem and it worked for me.

You should check if you have a Dual Link DVI output on the MBP. It looks like a DisplayPort adaptor for Dual Link DVI has worked for others.

Do you mean VGA? For my set up, I may have used cable with DVI on both ends so I can't say I remember a VGA connection.There are adapters for DVI to VGA so something like this should work:Generic DVI-I Dual-Link (M) to 15-Pin VGA (F) Adapter

I found that the DVI cable did not work after the first few days. Of course that may have been due to the computer, but I doubt it. I switched to a DVI to VGA converter and have had no more trouble nor can I tell the difference in image quality. I think that DVI is a technology not quite there yet.

I just purchased the mini dvi to dvi adapter and also an hdmi to dvi cable. I also have the audio cables. When I hooked everything up, I could hear the audio and see my desktop only. How can I view something other than my desktop. CAn you help?

Did you uninstall all previous Video Drivers? Also start out with a simple VGA cable. Make sure you are direct connect with VGA cable computer to monitor.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

So far this cable is working fantastically for me.Your problem might be your laptops' settings. Make sure it's set to mirror your screen and not set to use a secondary display.

I have to agree with the previous suggestion. Remove and reseat the card, make sure your monitor cables are plugged in all the way (Bent pins can be a problem). Try it on another PC if available, or send it back to the vendor.I bought this care and am very happy with it.

Are you sure it's not your computer settings? I know on a mac you have to adjust the overscan. I haven't used it as VGA yet.

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to > System preference > displays > click the HDMI output.Hope this work cause mine works fine.

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.
