  1. Lenovo PC no longer able to detect external monitor


    Since June 2017, I have been using my Lenovo Miix 510 PC/tablet (Windows 10 – 64 bit) with an ASUS external monitor (VS-228H-P) and it worked as expected. However, as of a few days ago, my Miix 510 is no longer able to detect the external monitor I have been using for the past 20 months. The Miix 510 is connected to a USB-C docking station, then a HDMI cable is connected from the docking station to the ASUS monitor. No changes to hardware nor software was made that I'm aware of.


    Here what I’ve done to troubleshoot but the problem still persists:

    1. Replaced the current HDMI cable another working HDMI cable
    2. Replaced the current docking station with a new docking station
    3. Connected the original HDMI cable I’ve been using to two other computers’ HDMI ports. Worked as expected. Both of the other 2 computers were able to detect the same ASUS monitor.
    4. Connected the Miix 510 via HDMI and docking station to a TV.
    5. Downloaded the display drivers updated the display and monitor drivers in Win10 Device Manager several times on the Miix 510.
    6. Installed older display and monitor drivers.
    7. Unplugged the power cord and HDMI cable from the monitor and reconnected them after 15 minutes.
    8. Ran the SFC in the command prompt in Windows. No problems found.
    9. Tried all the Project settings in Windows 10.

    10. Checked Display settings in Windows 10. Unable to detect.

    11. Installed the latest drivers. According Win10 updates, I have the "best drivers".


    Based upon the troubleshooting steps above I must conclude that the PC or its Windows 10 OS is the source of the issue.

    Why did the Miix 510 PC or Windows 10 stop detecting the external monitor after 20 months of use? I'm at my wits end trying everything under the sun.

  3. Laptop can't detect external monitor

    Sorry for the late response, but if I do not have another PC, is the only option to wait to get the new updates and within those new updates, my laptop will be able to detect my external monitor.

    It might sound rude and if so I'm sorry because you're the expert here and I barely know anything about computers but my external monitor worked perfectly until I rested my laptop. Do you think it has something to do with that because if the version 1803
    made my laptop unable to detect my external monitor, shouldn't my monitor not work from the beginning, before I rested my laptop but now it did. Only after the reset made it so my laptop was unable to detect my external monitor.

    So do you think the reset maybe deleted some files so that my laptop no longer is able to detect my monitor?

    External Monitor not detected

    I am running windows 10 on a MacBook Pro using bootcamp. I use a imac as an external monitor. Windows cannot "detect" the monitor. using a firewire connection, which works splendidly under OS. Any suggestions?
