On the one I got, Pin 8 is dead, in any direction. My monitor knows a cable is plugged in, but shows nothing. So, first question is, did I get a dud?

I was unable to use mine. I had purchased a dynadock and tried splitting the signal which didn't work. So I had to order another type of cable that was compatible.

I bought one and plugged it right in and it worked, I'm even using one of the SFP ports. You might try a reset to defaults if that doesn't work return it or call support.

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

I'm sorry to say I had the same issue with 1 of 2 monitors I purchased. I don't believe it's a powersupply issue b/c I swapped powersupplies and the issue still occurred. I had to RMA my bad monitor. I will say though, if you get one that works, they're really quite nice.

I've had mixed behavior on mine. The LED on the first port works as expected, each of the other LEDs have been irregular. I've noticed that if I restart my PC, the LEDs don't always come back on for ports that are enabled (even though the ports may be working). Other times I actually have to toggle the port on/off to get it working after a PC restart... and the LEDs may or may not come back on to reflect the status. Short answer; mine acts weird too.

The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors). East Coast lcd didn't even provide replacement, just refunded my money and I had to cough up additional shipping for the return.I then bought one from a different seller and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps as I'm just sharing my experience with them as I fell for the lower price as well. I then ended up buying one for around $49 & shipping The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors).

my cable doesn't even work at all... i was waiting for feedback from amazon, but it's been so long that i had forgot about it. i was wondering is it too late to return it for another one or a refund.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

I am sorry mine just worked instantly. Make sure you have it well connected and did not damage any pins. Maybe it is more than the display sorry

Have you swapped the wires on the other monitor and the other one works? Then its the monitor itself. If the one that was working doesn't work, then you have a bad connection.

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I had a something like that happen but only because of a bad connection with my cables and I was trying to do a dual monitor with a lesser resolution. FixING the cables and getting a better second monitor fixed it for me. Hope you didn't just get a bad monitor
