I connected my laptop with vga to an adapter that outputs hdmi, and I plugged it into the television. However, there's no signal… What can I do there? I changed the resolution a few times but it doesn't work.

If you connected the adapter while the laptop was in use, try a restart

And then press win + p and go to duplicate

Set to Duplicate in the display settings 👌

Tried, unfortunately nothing changes

You are probably using the wrong adapter…

You have to pay attention: VGA to HDMI

i use that, is it wrong?

Co

That's wrong.

It says: HDMI to VGA

But you want VGA to HDMI, that's a big difference!

Oh dear, well thanks now I at least know… I entered vga to hdmi correctly on amazon, but then I ordered the wrong one 😅

Po

Yes, that's wrong, the adapter makes HDMI to VGA and not VGA to HDMI
