Check that all your drivers and firmware are updated could also be a poor connection, a bad wire or just a bad port all together

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Display port is supposed to be the best transfer of signal. I would advise using it if you can.

I bought one and plugged it right in and it worked, I'm even using one of the SFP ports. You might try a reset to defaults if that doesn't work return it or call support.

I dont know what a mini display port is, but each one has what it says it has, cat5-6 and hdmi. They may be ok for short distance, but for my 15' they were worthless.

Did the earlier answers solve your problem. I would do exactly as S. Berry mentioned. Also, you may try first connecting both pieces together, then insert into the HDMI of the TV and finally to the mini display of the laptop. Sometimes this works only in this order. Then try restarting your laptop. It might work.

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

This model has a Mini DisplayPort connection, which looks like a Thunderbolt connection, but is not actually a Thunderbolt connection. The actual port is not marked on the side of the laptop.Explanation of how these ports are used: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck!

I had the same problem some time ago. If you provide me with some details I might be able to walk you through to a solution. First question: What port were you using? bobkyw@gmail.com

Make sure you have the USB connected. The monitor should come with a USB cable. You have to plug that USB in for the touch to work. If it still doesn't work, restart your computer. If not after that, you have a defective model. It should be plug and play like you said.

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

Is this the model you own? https://support.apple.com/kb/sp618?locale=en_US If so, your laptop supports Mini Displayport. Thanks!

The HDMI port worked on mine. I don't think you are missing anything. try another HDMI cable

Mini Display ports are typically for Mac products. It allows one connection to work with many different types of cords. Like a USB connector in a sense. You need to look up what type of connector your unit uses but since it is not Mac, no it won't work.

Mini-DisplayPort & "regular" DisplayPort use exactly the same signals, only the physical connector size is different. Therefore, only "passive" adapter is needed. An "active" adapter doesn't even exist.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee
