Windows 10: No Monitor Display when VGA Cable plugged into video card port

So, when plugging in the VGA cable into my video card's VGA port the monitor shows no display. It isn't an internal problem as the computer turns on and the keyboard and mouse light up after a couple of seconds which I can assume is that the computer is in the OS but does not show any display. There is a monitor display when the VGA cable is plugged into the motherboard which forces me to use the integrated graphics. I have tried many remedies to this problem including swapping VGA cables...

VGA Port Not Broadcasting to Second Monitor


Machine: Lenovo - Ideacentre 300S Desktop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive
OS: Windows 10
Processor Model: Intel 4th Generation Core i3
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4400

Backstory: I had my computer setup and working properly with dual monitors. I needed to use my work computer with the my monitors, so I unplugged both without shutting down my desktop. When I went to plug in the monitors, I had some trouble getting them to display. I eventually got my primary monitor working via a HDMI cable. However, the VGA connected monitor was not being detected.

Problem: I've tried to use the Windows Key + P to setup the computer for extended desktops. However the monitor is still not detecting a signal from my machine and the machine does not detect the monitor.

• I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on the graphics card.
• I've tried a system restore to a period prior to the problem.
• I tried purchasing a cable that converts the VGA port to an HDMI connection at the monitor and that didn't help.

I'm somewhat proficient with computers and at a point where I don't know of any other solutions. I talked with somebody at Best Buy where I purchased the machine, and the suggested it could be faulty hardware. Given the number of people experiencing the same problem, I suspect that's not the case. Anybody have suggestions? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

 

dual monitors using a 2 port VGA monitor splitter Y cable?

Hi,

Display using dual monitors can be possible if your video card supports multiple video outputs. Have you tried setting up dual monitor display before? Do you have other connectors aside from a VGA cable?

Splitters do not support extended computer application. What it does is it clones the same images on multiple monitors. VGA to 2 VGA connections usually cannot do it due to limited resources. If you want to have a dual monitor setup, you might want to check
if your video card supports multiple outputs directly from the device manufacturer and use another cable connector instead of a splitter.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.
