External Monitor Not Displaying

Solution:

  • Step 1: Check the cable connection between the monitor and the computer. Ensure it's securely plugged in.
  • Step 2: Use the keyboard shortcut (e.g., 'Win + P' on Windows) to select the display mode.
  • Step 3: Test the monitor on another device to ensure the monitor is working properly.
  • Step 4: Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source (HDMI, VGA, etc.).
Note: A monitor not displaying is often due to loose cables, incorrect display settings, or hardware failure.
