Need technical help here. Why is my VGA to HDMI adapter not detecting

>>728244866
Is it plugged in

it is plugged in... thanks /b

>>728245271
Have you tried multiple sources

>>728244866
Have you tried not being retarded

>>728244866
if it is HDMI source to VGA display it may not support HDCP...

It's a HDMI to VGA newfag

>>728244866
What are you connecting?

>>728244866
I had the same problem but with a DVI instead of VGA, Something was wrong but still have no idea what the problem was, i ended up buying a DVI to HDMI cable instead of an adapter, worked perfect ever since

>>728244866
How tech savvy are you? and did you buy the adapter from china?

Some adaptors just do not work on windows 10 with direct view (the driver installed) try and install a windows 8 64bit driver as I had it work in the past. But yeah hdmi to vga is not good, does your monitor have any other output?

>>728244866
most of those adapters need power

Did this adapter ever work ?

Some can not even work, it need to do actual signal conversion, some shitty chinese brand just don't give a fuck and put an HDMI port on a side, a VGA on the other, and call it a go.

The dreaded System 32 file again...
I thought everyone on /b/ knew to get rid of that virus

6666 get

6666 now

>>728246467
True, this happened to me a while back, I was retarded and didn't buy the right kind.

>>728244866
VGA > HDMI doesnt work unless its an active converter.

>>728244866
Since tech support is awake on /b/, can anyone help me with my 65" sony TV it just flat out stopped working one day from being on to death.

Put a new fuse in, tested the socket and all that...
It literally just got out of warrenty and they want at least $240 minimum to look at it
> feeling like they are jew-ing me out of cash that is a simple/standard fix.

Anyone?

As far as I know vga to hdmi wont work with a normal adapter, because vga=analog and hdmi= digital signal. You'll need a Converter. Some Laptops can switch between normal Hdmi and analogous output, with that you can use a hdmi to vga adapter without a converter.

>>728244866
>take adapter
>put in bumhole
>buy new monitor

you is welcome

>>728244866
some of these only work from hdmi to vga btw

>>728246866
Did you have any power surges before it stopped working? Something on the tv might of blew

>>728246667
So close....

>>728246866
put it on a soft surface like your bed, open the case and look for capacitors that are bulging. its usualy just a dead capacitor you have to replace and it will cost you 50cents

>>728244866
What OS?
What graphics card?
What graphics driver?
What resolution is the monitor/projector/tv have?
What HDMI standard does the monitor/projector/tv have?

I've missed you buddy.

>>728246866
Google your tv + problem + "solved"

That helped me on my vizio.

What the fuck kind of obsolete equipment are you trying to connect with that silly adapter?

>>728244866
you probably bought the opposite signal direction. Yes it matters whether it is hdmi to vga or vga to hdmi

>>728247253
No, all the power was fine, even the other things connected to the socket (dvd player and such) where fine.

LOL do you think you can magically convert VGA to HDMI with a shitty converter? the fuck?

>>728247354
Could you show me a picture of what it might look like? if you/anyone can help me fix this ill be so greatful, I'm a poorbro and the TV was a gift, My family loves it and I feel like a dick for barely being able to afford to repair it / being too dumb.

>>728244866
Because you touch yourself at night.

>>728248313
Whats the model of the TV?

>>728249034
Sony: KD 65x9005a

Have you tried spreading peanut butter on your internet vent?

>>728249184
>Sony: KD 65x9005a
Nice, Have you tried another power cable? any signs of life such as LED lights or beeps?

>>728244866
Good luck with your problems you stupid fuck. How about just waiting to afford a regular graphics card instead of some ass gravy card that you found in your parent's basement

>>728249565
>signs of life
No signs of life, no lights or anything even after leaving it unplugged for awhile.

I haven't tried to change the power cable but that will be my first attempt.

> nice
Thanks, it was sent as a gift to me since I mentioned in passing to a family member "we don't even have a TV" when they asked my kid what cartoons they like.

Don't you 404 on me thread!

>>728250054
I hope its just the power cable and an easy fix.I need to jump off but good luck and if it goes to hell and you need to get ride of it See if there is a good will around your area. They have a deal with Dell computers that will help recycle electronics for free.

>>728251164
Do you have a throw away e-mail I can add to message in a few days after I try the cable? Would mean a lot /b/ro.

>>728251301
Here you go [email protected]

>>728251449

Thanks /b/ro.

>>728244866
There is no such thing as HDMI to VGA. it will never work. Upgrade your monitor newfag

>>728246866
Having fixed a few Sony Bravia's, they don't generally have the bad cap problem lesser brands have. However, 90% of the time you will either have to replace the power board or the main board. These can be found on E-Bay and you can change them yourself if you're not too retarded.

>>728251501
Good luck bud

>>728246869

Kek you have no idea what you're talking about.

Probably an analogue signal as opposed to a digital. HDMI is only digital. How old is your screen?
