7. Troubleshooting
Q1: How to check if the Type-C port on my computer is a full-function port?
A: If your laptop has a USB-C port with one of the following symbols (or the Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, DP 1.2 logos), then it is a full-function Type-C port. You can use a single USB-C to C cable to connect the screen. Refer to your computer's manual or manufacturer's website for port specifications.
Q2: The monitor screen displays "No Signal".
A: 1. If using a USB-C to C connection, it may indicate that your computer's USB-C port only supports power, not video transmission. In this case, connect an HDMI cable to the monitor for video transmission.
2. If using an HDMI cable for video, ensure you also connect a USB-A/C to C cable (5V/2A) to the monitor for power.
Q3: The monitor screen flickers or goes black.
A: This may be due to low laptop battery or insufficient voltage. Use an additional USB-A to C cable to provide power to the laptop or the monitor screen extender.
Q4: The monitor screen does not light up after connecting.
A: Your laptop may not be providing enough power. Please charge the monitor with an extra power supply that provides 5V/2A. Also, ensure your laptop screen is active to prevent the extender screen from entering sleep mode.
