it explains in words and pictures how to do this and what to do if it dosen't work. If you don't have a user guide google will be your friend just search for Envy 15 user guide.
Hello everyone, recently I bought an Envy 15 laptop, and Im now triyng to connect an external monitor but it does not seem to be working properly.
The Envy only has an HDMI out, so im using a HDMI to VGA cable (brand new, just bought) to connect it to another monitor that I know works, because I have used it with other laptops/netbooks in the past.
The problem is, when everything is turned on, NOTHING happens. Literally. I go to display settings and hit "detect", still only 1 monitor available, I tried the win + p and f4, but it seems like my computer does not want to recognize the fact that its connected to another monitor.
Im running win7 64 bit and my graphics card is an ATI mobility radeon HD 5830 series.
drivers are up to date.
thanks in advance!
