Troubleshooting

No video signal detected on the DVI display.

Ensure both the Mini DisplayPort and DVI connectors are securely plugged in. Verify that the DVI cable is functioning correctly. Check that the correct input source is selected on the DVI display. Confirm the source device is outputting video via the Mini DisplayPort.

Low resolution or distorted image.

Check the display settings on your computer to ensure the resolution is set correctly (up to 1920x1200). Ensure the DVI cable is fully seated at both ends. Verify that the converter is functioning properly; try it with a different Mini DisplayPort source if possible.

Device not recognized by the computer.
