  • The full‑featured Type‑C cable is sold separately.

Troubleshooting

15. My PD1900 turns on but shows "No Signal." What should I do?

  • Common causes include:
    • HDMI plugged into the motherboard instead of the graphics card
      • When using a desktop computer with a dedicated graphics card, the HDMI cable should be connected to the graphics card.
    • Unsupported adapters (USB‑A → HDMI) - The USB-A port cannot support display connections. Instead, use the following types of adapters: 
      • HDMI to DisplayPort (DP) 
      • HDMI to DVI
    • Faulty HDMI cable - use a different HDMI cable
    • Using a non‑video USB‑C port - a USB-C port that doesn't support video connection must not be used.
    • The USB-C-to-USB-C cable used is not full-featured.


16. My PD1900 won't power on. What should I check?

  • Ensure the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet
  • Confirm the power cable is fully inserted
  • Try another outlet
  • Check for damage to the adapter or cable
  • Test with another computer if possible
