Hello, I have a HP Pavilion laptop that I am trying to connect to an HP monitor.

But my laptop only has an HDMI port for video while the available ports on the monitor are: DisplayPort; DVI; VGA.

So I bought an adapter with a male DisplayPort and a female HDMI that I connect with an HDMI cable to my laptop.

But when I turn on my laptop and monitor, the message "check video cable" is displayed. I tried plugging and unplugging my cables but nothing changes.

If anyone has a solution, I'm open to suggestions.

My connection:
HP monitor => DisplayPort adapter (plugged into the monitor) to female HDMI => HDMI cable => laptop

    Hi, we need to check the exact reference of the thing, but apparently it's a DisplayPort converter from a PC graphics card to a monitor in HDMI. It's not reversible; you need to take an HDMI to VGA converter from the PC.
