NO DISPLAY ON MONITOR

[Aido]

Hi Guys, good day Newbie here can any one help me to figure out whats wrong with my raspberry pi 4. There is no display on my monitor. I'm using a HDMI-VGA cable and my monitor is 22'' HP compaq LA2205wg. I follow exactly on the guide provided here in this site but still I don't have display on my monitor. Can any one help me to get ride of this. I'm literally screwed up. please see my current config.txt below. I'm using a HDMI-VGA + a straight female to female HDMI to connect both cable.

It is quite likely your adaptor, you should use something like this and a VGA Cable:

According to the spec the monitor as a DVI-D input.
A HDMI-DVI adapter would probably be cheaper and cause fewer problems

If that is so then a microHDMi -DVi Cable:

There are HDMI to VGA cables that rely on the HDMI device being able to put into a mode where it outputs VGA signals from its HDMI socket. No RPi can do that so such cables will never work. An adaptor containing active electronics is required to connect the HDMI ouput of a RPi to a VGA only display.

Hi drgeoff, fruitoftheloom,DirkS
Thanks for the quick response & advice guys appreciated. One more question is there any remedy or work around to try on before I buy a new adapter? Now a days the delivery are getting delays and some online store are temporary closed due to pandemic.

Thanks everyone really helps

If it does not work it does not work, you can not magically make something work that does not.......

TBH: I would start to remove *all* the screen mods you made. I doubt they are all necessary. Maybe just a hdmi mode setting.
And I would remove all the commented out lines (starting with #) as they make it much harder to see what the actual settings are.

Hi Guys,
I was happy that my order just arrived ( micro HDMI-VGA ), But when I try it on my PI4, A green screen appeared and stuck.

Can anyone help me on this. I tried several guide and tips here base on the comments but it does not work.

Can any one share your working config.txt to me. so I can try it to my PI4.

Thanks
