Hey all,

I’ve been using a BENQ XL2411-P monitor for a few months now along with my laptop which I’ve had for a few years. My laptop contains an nvdiea GeForce 1050 and Intel HD 630.

I am currently using an HDMI cable in order to show the ‘second’ Monitor. However my monitor has suddenly stopped working having restarted my computer today it now does not detect my monitor. It did not do any updates in this restart that I’m aware of.

I have updated all drivers, I have tried other cables and having plugged my monitor in to an old laptop it seems to work perfectly fine.
I have also tried manually detecting the monitor which has drawn a blank too.
I have tried enabling and disabling different graphics too.

The monitor is turned on and I have tried manually selecting HDMI from the buttons on the monitor and still no progress

Any ideas?

unfortunately not no...
although I have recently purchased a mini display port to display port cable, since my laptop does have a mini display port input. I could try using that to plug into my monitor to see if it’s a problem with the HDMI input
