Dell 1201MP detects and shows picture from video source. But when VGA is connected, it is being detected yet shows no picture. Its showing a white screen only. Please help

hi Lorrie
what dell.?
(elemen is TV) hDIM
to make HDMI work right on ANY PC
the Video drivers must be current.
NO PC stated, no answers pissible

Dell has 20 decades of PC models 1000's exist.

If you projector can not process SVGA then no there is nothing you can do

The Dell 520's manual can be downloaded here. The PC's motherboard optionally has a VGA Video Connector (integrated) as shown on Page 1 of the manual. If yours is equipped with this option, there is no graphics card installed - it is built into the motherboard itself. It can not be removed or separated from the PC.

Your PC may have a a separate video card installed into one of the expansion slots on the motherboard. Page 1 also shows this installed below the USB 2.0 connectors as the PCI Express graphics card.

Here's an internal view:


The video card in the picture is driving two standard analog VGA monitors (blue cable connectors) through a DVI -> VGA adapter (white and clear devices) this is connected to the video output connectors. If you look closely at the edge of the PC in the picture (directly above the USB & network cables) you should be able to see an unused VGA Video Connector (integrated). Most computer BIOS systems will automatically disable any built in video capabilities of the motherboard when a separate video card is detected. Check the manual for additional info about these BIOS settings.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Make sure that you have the correct display mode selected. While many connections like a VGA to VGA connection will automatically detect, I don't think a VGA to RCA adapter will. Go to control panel/display and see if your computer has detected the second display.
Also make sure the RGB or RCA is selected as the input source on your TV.
Once these are both set correctly you should be in business!

hi,

You can use the VGA input for connecting the PS3. for that you need D-sub to HDTV/Component cable. Connect the vga sid to the projector and the component RCA side to your PS3. Your PS3 have the component video out.
ok

Hi sshorne9780,

I see that you are having a check input error on the Monitor/LCD that your are connecting to your Dell tower, please see steps below.

• On your HP 2310E make sure that your HP is set to the input/source that you are using and make sure that you only use one type of video cable for the issue.
• I see that you mentioned that you have a VGA cable and a DVI cable, you can only use one type of cable for a video connection.
• VGA would be the Blue tipped cable connecting to the tower and going to the LCD monitor.
• DVI this is a black cable connecting to a white port much bigger than a VGA port and is rectangular in shape unlike the VGA
• 
• and on your LCD monitor check the input type to see video from the tower.
• everything seems to be OK you just need to change the input of your LCD monitor for the video to show up on the screen.
• also if you are using HDMI for the video u will need to change the setting of your Audio and set HDMI as the Default to have Audio come out from the HDMI connection together with video, the HDMI viedo will automatically be detected as long as the LCD monitor's input is set to HDMI.

I hope that this will able to help resolve your concern.

Thank you for choosing Fixya,

Try searching google for your monitors model name and "driver"

That "red white green and blue" block is a color pattern tester. that means the monitor is on, but is not receiving a signal, so its running tests. If your monitor has Digital input and VGA input, you may just need to switch inputs. Look for 1 or VGA if youre using the blue hook up. look for 2 or digital or dvi if youre using the larger white hook up. Some monitors also have 'auto detect'. If you are in "auto detect' bbut the color box is still there, then your monitor is not receiving video signal from the computer. It could indicate a bad cable or no signal being sent by the machine. If you try another monitor, you can see if the machine is working. I would try a monitor setting for VGA-1 first, since thats most common.

If your monitor it's good the reason may be that the settings of the refresh rate is to high for your monitor. Try to enter in Safe Mode (Press F8 key before booting in OS and from the menu choose Safe Mode) and then from Control Panel try to remove de video driver and then restart the computer. After restart, the OS will detect your video card as standard VGA card. After that install your video driver again.
