Okay, first off: from perusing the Google results, I'm pleased this friendly forum is here. I'm hoping you can help me out with this minor problem.
Dell Inspiron Win10 (my homework computer)
Monitor 1: HP f2105
Monitor 2: Asus VH238
I realized, while researching/working on my mid-term essay, that I would benefit from hooking up that spare monitor I last used during the summer to build a PC. I brought it out, saw I had the open HDMI on the Dell, and bought a new cable to join the two together.
Win10 detects the monitor, but it doesn't activate (it disappears when HDMI pulled). I've extended the display to both; I've re-booted numerous times; I updated drivers (only 9-day old BIOS update was needed).
Monitor 1 cannot accept HDMI, while the VGA cable does work for either monitor.
Please...any suggestions? Ideas?
