Hello

I have a similar issue to Tom (http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62588) and am wondering the response from the member called TargusLevel3 in negreenfield's (http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62600) thread is relevant - hopefully my issue is somewhere in between and resolveable

Laptop: Acer Aspire7750G Laptop
Monitor: Samsung SyncmasterSA350
USB Hub: TargusACP51AUZ
Windows 7

I turned my laptop on after it being off for about 6 hours to find my Samsung monitor had the red light on indicating power and it was on, but no display.

I did notice at one stage a DisplayLink pop-up on the bottom RH side, but just closed it not realising it might be relevant as Ive never seen it before.

After a bit of testing which included bypassing the USB Hub, keyboard shortcuts for monitor displays, resetting windows, going back to a restore point, trying a new cable I decided the monitor was no longer working. I ruled out the USB hub when I was directly plugging the monitor into my laptop and ruled out the cable with trying a new cable.

One weird thing is that when I was trying to configure monitors and appearances in Screen Resolution it was picking up 3 monitors, one was called 1/2 and the other 3.

I connected my old Lenovo monitor so I could continue working today, and then after about 6 hours of use - it suddenly went blank as well and there was the DisplayLink pop-up on the bottom RH side again.

After a quick bit of research which determined it wasnt malware, I followed the installation instructions for DisplayLink and did a computer rest. Lenovo monitor now working.

So, Ive suddenly thought my monitor may not actually be broken (glad I didn't hastily trash it today), but alas it is still giving me a blank screen. The menu button works, it just flashes HDMI, Analog and then goes blank.

I have tried to download the latest DisplayLink software from the website, but havent proceeced as there was a pop-up for an incompatibility error leading to this webpage (http://displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=315). In my Windows Device Manager it says that the Targus USB Video (DisplayLink Display Adapter (02AA) is up to date.

My assumption with not having had a problem until today and it has been the first time I have seen the DisplayLink pop-up seems to suggest I start here.

What shall I do?

Thank you
Jayne

Hi,

Regarding the incompatibility error, have you been able to upgrade your USB 3.0 host controller driver?

Can you attach the output from this tool so I can take a look?

Hello James

Thank you for replying to my message

have you been able to upgrade your USB 3.0 host controller driver?
Have checked - Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller - software for your device is up to date

Ran the software with the Lenovo plugged in - let me know if you want me to run it again with the Samsung

Thanks for your help
