How To Download Signal On Laptop
Clara Vanliere
So basically my issue is that my Dell G3 15 laptop does not output to HDMI all of a sudden. It worked well before I went to sleep and did not work when I started it in the morning. When I plug the HDMI cable from my laptop to my monitor, my laptop screen goes black and my monitor outputs "No signal". I usually have my laptop projection to "Second screen only" (my monitor), but even when I select to "Duplicate" it is still the same effect.
The problem definitely comes from my Dell laptop since I tried with another laptop on 2 different monitors and had no problems. I don't remember if there was a Windows update on the night before it didn't work anymore.
The laptop always will default to your screen, not an external monitor. Open Display Settings and force it to find the monitor. Right click on the desktop to get to Display Options quickly. You should not attach a monitor with the laptop ON. Boot with the monitor already attached.
My room is furthest away from our WiFi router. Router is in the living room, and my room is in between that and a stock room. However, my mobile devices can all connect to the WiFi and have stable internet.
There may be a 3rd option: Upgrade the antenna on your wireless repeater so it can communicate with the existing AP more reliably. When range is an issue you want better antenna design, not just moar power!! (Sorry, went all Clarkson there.)
Yes, antenna gain indicates how sensitive the antenna is, and how much effective power gain is had when transmitting. I would say getting a better extender is the way to go for that very reason: It works for all your devices, and will work with any laptop.
From my experience (I used D-Link and TP-Link) ethernet over powerlines devices work on power stripes without any problem with the speeds like 65-130 Mb/s. Most surge protectors are IMHO fake and buzz - the device will be damaged first to protect surge protector
I would guess that there could be truth that there is an issue with HDCP not being translated, that seems most likely.I originally had one of those cheap plastic block adapter things, but it's too wide and blocks the USB port next to the HDMI port - so I'm buying an adapter with 20cm or so cable attached, like this: -l-a.jpg
So based on the comments to the question, I think we have narrowed it down the the HDMI to DVI adapter. The monitor is not detecting a signal from the computer because the computer is not detecting that there is a monitor plugged in. Im not an electrical expert but when a VGA or DVI cable is plugged in at both ends it appears to complete a circuit, resulting in the display showing that the cable is plugged in. In this case this is why the monitor is showing no signal but is detecting a cable plugged in. The no signal is representing the fact that there is no data being sent between the monitor and the computer. For reasons unknown the monitor doesn't seem to like the adapter.
I had the same problem with an Dell U2311H monitor. HDMI only is not working but surprisingly it worked when I linked the monitor with an extra USB cable to use the USB ports of the monitor as USB hub for the keyboard and mouse
The P50 drives the VGA input at 1920x1200 on HP monitor 1 and the DVI input at 1920x1200 on HP monitor 2 via a $10 passive HDMI to DVI adaptor, which as far as I am aware does nothing more than pin reassignment.
I had this issue between my laptop (Predator Helios 3000) and an old monitor (LG FLATRON E260T-PN) with only DVI-D and VGA ports. I was using an HDMI with a DVI to HDMI adapter on the monitor. It said "no signal". Tried a bunch of stuff but what seems to have worked in the end was simply flipping the HDMI cable...
The monitors seem to be working fine as long as the Intel GPU is used. When the system switches to the NVidia after a couple of minutes, sometimes after about 15 minutes, the screen turns black.
After a couple of seconds the screen shows the "No Signal" message. The only method to get a signal to the monitor again is by powering down the laptop before restarting. Reattaching the cables does not help. neither does using 'Winows-P' to select a different monitor..
I've tried to remove all related drivers and revert back to WIndows Defaults, but also the I have the issue. I t then update them, but I did not get better. For the Nvidia I tried the native WIndows, HP and most recent NVidia version, by the way the laptop uses a Geforce GTX 1060.
If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the "Solution Accepted" on this Post and it will also help other community members with similar issue.
Basically I have also uninstalled and reinstalled (updated) all devices: Device Manager - Uninstall Device (+Driver where possible), then reboot and redetect all, then run HPSA: no newer drivers found.
I am sure there is something wrong with either hardware or drivers as occasionally I experience a BSOD (Critical Process died). Until now this has only happened when in the 'Pause Screen' when playing Forza Horizon 4. So it could be completely unrelated to the original issue.
Update: after writing the above I checked the website anf found a newer BIOS (F22). HPSA did not show that new BIOS. I do not think it will make a difference but it I did perform the update. After that I rechecked all devices via Device Manager for updated drivers to make sure I did not miss one before.
Has anyone ever had the problem like mine? When I turn on my laptop, I lose my GPSr signal and can't pick up any satelites. I can only guess that the laptop is putting out some kind of interference. Anyone in the know out there can share your experience with me so hopefully I can fix this.
Is your laptop wireless or bluetooth enabled? Those are the only two features I would think would transmit enough power to affect it. Try disabling them if they are. If that doesn't work, then I am guessing you probably have a bad power supply which is causing a 60cycle "buzz" and messing things up. The same would probably be true of the CD player. The most likely cause there would be a bad ground.
How close to your laptop is your GPSr when it is affected. Have you moved it away some and see if it works OK. Is there anything plugged into your laptop when this happens, such as power supply, mouse, USB cables, your GPSr cable.
Make sure that all of your cables have ferrite beads, especially your GPSr cable. As I recall, my Garmin cable has one built-in, my Meridian cable does not. The bead is a lump you see in many cables attached to devices. The bead should be as close to the computer as possible. You can get snap-on beads that you can attach to any cable. They act as a resister to radio frequency interference that often travels along cables and are released as if an antenna.
Computers generate a large amount of RF, as I have seen at my desk computer next to my High Frequency (short wave) receiver. I have put ferrites on every cable, including keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. The reduction in noise is substantial.
I dont have the gpsr pluged into the laptop, nor do I have any kind of wifi devices enabled. I just have the laptop running on battery power. If I put the laptop in the back seat it still causes problems, just not so much. It must be just something in my laptop causing some noise. I guess I can live with it. Its just nice to be able to look at PQ in the car and not have the gpsr go out while doing it. (not driving of course)
In my previous reply, I mentioned ferrites on cables existing a computer, because this prevents these cables from being an effective antenna transmitting interference. This usually cuts down the interference enough to stop it.
You could try a different brand GPSr. The only other thing that could help is using an external antenna for your GPSr, or increasing the distance of the computer, or putting the computer in a mesh cage, grounded to the body of the car......
My guess would also be the power supply, My desktops power supply was messing broadcast am radio into the street in front of my house untill I replaced the power supply. Computers can put out quite a bit of RFI. This is why electronic devices are required to be FCC compliant.
I've had 2 different laptops, and 3 different GPS units (Garmin Etrex Vista, Magellan Meridian Gold, and Delorme Earthmate USB) and haven't seen a problem. Laptops were sometimes running on battery power, and sometimes running off an inverter......
I'll bet you do not have the same laptop/GPSr combo that GHOTI123 has. I have had many desktop and laptops and some produce a great deal of RFI. I have heard it cause interference on LF, HF, VHF and UHF (weak signal) bands.
We are using Zoom Meeting and "record to cloud" and I am co-hosting. I join her in her meeting room, she sets the Spotlight on herself, then makes me her co-host and begins the class. From there, I continue letting attendees into her room and at a certain moment in the class, as co-host, I start to record to the cloud.
We got a recording with a lot of freezes and we need to know if upgrading her outbound signal will solve the problem.
Is Zoom recording what my laptop is experiencing/relaying or what her tablet is beaming? In a way this seems a dumb question (apols) because we know it is her camera and microphone, beaming from her tablet to all of us, but I genuinely would like to know if the Zoom Record function is just receiving/recording directly from her tablet's output, just like each of us as participants, or if the recording involves my internet signal with my laptop as a relay to the cloud recording function.
