Display Port No Signal FIX !! [Step-by-Step in Description]

  • Опубліковано 15 чер 2017
  • Hi everyone. I ran into an issue where my Display port wasn't working after the computer went to sleep. After searching online and trying different fixes for 2+ hours, I finally came across a very simple way to fix this issue.
    Please consider Subscribing if this video helped you out! Subs help my channel be able to monetize which allow me to produce additional content :)
    Steps to fix the Display Port:
    1. Turn off the computer and either unplug it from the power source or turn off via the Power Supply's power switch.
    2. Turn off your monitor and then unplug it from the power source.
    3. Wait 30 seconds.
    4. Plug the monitor back on, turn it on if it doesn't do so automatically.
    5. Plug the PC back on or flip the PSU switch back to on.
    6. Turn the PC back on and if this fix is applicable, your Display Port will now work again.
    NOTE: Make sure no other video cables are plugged in to the GTX 1080 or other GPU. Just have the faulty Display Port plugged in with the Display Port cable connected to the monitor.
    Also, if you suspect driver issues, connect the computer via HDMI or DVI and reinstall the display drivers again. You may need to use older drivers if the newest drivers are breaking your ability to use Displayport.
    I hope this saved you guys from all the effort and possible RMA's!
    Thanks for watching :)

    1. Turn off your monitor and then unplug it from the power source.
    2. Unplug DP cable from the monitor and GPU.
    3. Wait 30 seconds.
    4. Plug again DP cable on.
    5. Plug the monitor back on.
    6. Turn the monitor back on and your Display Port will now work.
    7. Miracle, work again, save my life, thanx a lot, mate.

    My man, I started a job and am off training tomorrow, and I NEED two monitors for it. My brother brought me home a monitor with display port, and that was my only option, and I dont rlly wanna buy a new monitor entirely, so I was anxious when it wasn't detecting my displayport. Google kept telling me my port was fried on my gpu, but I didnt want to believe it. Your video seemed too good to be true, but I tried it cause I had no other option and the absolute JOY i felt when it said "displayport: active" and turned on instantly made me SO HAPPY. You were a god and thank you so much for making this 5 years ago.

    Thank you mate.....I spent more like 5 hours pulling everything apart, reseating ram, CPU, etc.....Did what you said, and it worked. I have a 5700XT and an MSI 144hz monitor. What a stupid problem, with a stupid fix.

    Ty for taking the time to post this. Asus VG248QE monitor, GTX 1080 (and also a 1060), same exact issue, and this "fixes" it... at least until the monitor goes to sleep again (which i disabled in Control Panel now that i know better). i had to look further into this, and believe i've "pinned" down the issue. Evidently this is due to the No. 20 DP pin, which delivers +3.3V power. The current DisplayPort standards state that this pin must NOT have a wire connected to it, so it no longer serves a function unless your use case is with old equipment. So what happened to all the cables that were manufactured before the standard was changed? Burned in a fire, right? Ha! They're still for sale, my friends, and you very likely have at least one. Mine came with the damned graphics card. That unexpected voltage confuses the monitor's firmware, and removing the power cord resets the firmware. if your DP cable has the 3.3V power, it WILL bug the monitor's firmware every time Windows attempts to turn off your monitor. Change that setting to NEVER, and/or find a cable that conforms to the most recent VESA DisplayPort standard. Janky damned DP cables are everywhere.

      Awesome research! So when buying a new DP cable make sure it is a recently manufactured one and that it is also VESA standard certified/compliant! Thanks for that awesome research, Jason!!

    • @j_ro
      @j_ro 6 років тому +1

      thing is the offending cables may actually be very well-made, and quality brands... but made prior to the change in VESA standards. you can easily check your cables using a multi-meter set to ohms. the number 20 pin (which should do nothing) is nearest to the slanted corner.

    I'm having this problem with my NZXT build with a 3090 where I could be playing minecraft, or streaming using OBS and both monitors will go black and a message will pop up saying "an incorrect displayport version setting will cause the screen to be blank" I've tried replacing the graphics card 3 times actually, reinstalled my drivers, purchased new cables and still the same issue. I could be playing games for 10 minutes or 2 hours it will eventually power down my monitors and go to sleep.

      Bought it about a year ago and this still happens once in awhile.
      I contacted them and they told me to do a bunch of shit. I asked them to teamview but they kept delaying it. This would be my last time doing any business with nzxt
