    Cannot connect external screen VGA to HDMI


    Hi



    I am trying to connect an older VGA screen to my fairly new laptop without success.

    • the laptop runs on Windows 10
    • I have spent ages trying to find a solution here in Support but nothing has worked



    Things I have tried

    • Update drivers = the drivers are all up-to-date, apparently
    • there does not seem to be a trouble-shooter for hardware and devices one solution suggested in a post
    • The adapter cable is brand new
    • All I get on the external screen is: Input not Supported
    • Switching off and back on again or restarting had no effect



    Is there anything I can do?



    Many thanks

    :)

  2. HDMI to VGA cable issue

    I have laptop ASUS S510UQR model installed windows 10.

    This laptop have HDMI port only so i use HDMI to VGA cable to connect to external monitor (projector) having VGA port.

    It works fine until i update windows 10.

    Normally, when i plug HDMI to VGA port to laptop, a sound will appear and i could see external monitor when i open Intel UHD graphic control panel.

    But now it does not happen.

    It works fine if i use HDMI to HDMI cable, meaning that the HDMI in laptop is OK.

    I use my HDMI to VGA cable for other laptop, it is OK (meaning that the HDMI to VGA cable is OK)

    I did try the following steps:

    - uninstall graphic driver and reinstall graphic driver using device manager.

    - Go to Asus website to download graphic driver and BIOS to update.

    - Finally reinstall a fresh windows 10

    This issue still happen.

    Could someone please help me to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much for your time.
