- Connect the DisplayPort male end of the EEEKit adapter into the DisplayPort output on your computer or laptop. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Connect a standard VGA cable (not included) into the VGA female port of the EEEKit adapter.
- Connect the other end of the VGA cable into the VGA input port on your monitor, projector, or HDTV.
- Power on your display device, then power on your computer or laptop.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EEEKit DisplayPort to VGA Converter Adapter, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Display/Signal:
- Ensure all connections (DisplayPort, VGA cable) are secure and fully inserted.
- Verify that the VGA cable is functioning correctly by testing it with another device if possible.
- Check your display's input source settings to ensure it is set to the correct VGA input.
- Restart your computer and display device.
- Ensure your computer's graphics drivers are up to date.
- Flickering or Unstable Image:
- Reduce the display resolution or refresh rate in your computer's display settings.
- Ensure the adapter and cables are not near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
- Check for any physical damage to the adapter or cables.
