Product Information

Turn on your computer and then the monitor. Press the “Reset/DV Mode” button or the “Source” button on the front of the monitor (it will be either or, you shouldn’t have both options). Keep pressing it until the word “DVI” appears at the top of your screen. Sometimes, your adaptor just won’t respond and you need to get it replaced. In this case, it may be a better idea to just get a new monitor. If your monitor worked previously, it is likely something to do with the hardware or software. You’ve either blown something or there needs to be an update to make it work again. If you want to use your Displayport monitor but it isn’t connecting the first time you use it, it could be that you haven’t connected it properly. This is only a solution if you haven’t been connected before. There is an off chance that your settings may have changed and you can try this with a monitor that has been connected before, but that isn’t common. Another solution is to update your video driver, as this will solve many problems with monitor connections. There are pretty many graphics driver updates and if you don’t keep up, it is conceivable that it could create connection issues. You need to either manually update your computer or set it up for automatic updates.

If you cannot connect the DVI to the Displayport monitor, it could be that something is wrong with your computer’s graphics card. Try to reset or replace your graphics card, paying close attention to compatibility. If the monitor turns on correctly, then the computer is the source of the problem. If it doesn’t, then the monitor may be an issue. You may need to restart your second computer once connected to really rule out the tower being the issue.If you have been successfully using your DVI to Displayport setup and it just stopped working, then you probably have an issue with your adaptor. Diagnosing and fixing what’s wrong with the adaptor isn’t complicated because other people have had similar issues before you. We’ve gathered the most common problems with the adaptor and found the solutions.

Another solution is to try to swap ports on your computer’s tower. If there are multiple display ports, test the monitor with the other ones. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.

You Need To Update Your Software To The Latest Versions

While your computer searches for updates, do not do anything. Eventually, a dialog box will pop up that tells you whether or not there any updates. The best thing to do when your DVI to Displayport isn’t working is to troubleshoot all of the different areas until something works for you. These solutions will largely work when you are first setting up your Displayport or when you have had it for some time.

First, test the monitor on another computer. The first thing you want to do is rule out one of the two devices as being the “problem.” The best way to do this is to test the monitor on another computer. Disconnect it and connect it to another computer that you know works. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why your DVI to Displayport is not working, so you will have to run through the different solutions to see what your reason is. Shut down your computer and turn off your monitor. Allow them to sit for a few seconds before you begin working.
