My second monitor is working but black screen(HDMI)

thank you

I tried unplugging and plugging all cables back from my 2nd monitor but it did not make any changes. Does this mean that it is now a hardware issue?

i only got the hdmi in and its black screened, this jus started happening

My monitor is not black screen but when I click on an app from the desktop recycle bin opens instead like it keeps reverting back.

Hello. I have a problem. When I turn on the computer for about 40 minutes, I work on the Internet and everything is fine, after a while the monitor turns off, the screen turns black and the computer works, it means that the monitor is also turned on, the green dot below is turned on, only the monitor turns off and then I have to I have to turn off the computer and turn it on again and everything is ok. If you can tell me what the problem is. Thank you in advance. The computer is AMD FX6300 6CORE AND THE GRAPHICS ARE SAPPHIRE R9 290 4GB

I hate electronics...wasting my life and my money

I did the small mistake of pressing "show only display 2" and my primary monitor is black whatever i plug it in.. i want to kill myself

Mine is, my CPU is a company CPU and I restart it. Now that I did it, it's just a blank screen. It needs a second monitor but I don't have that... And I have to buy a GVA converter just so I can connect the hdmi to the cpu- it'll take me a few days and I hate it... 😢 I've got work to do... Is there any way to figure it out... I'm losing hope

What a waste

My Asus gaming monitor has the same issue with HDMI connection too. It's a simple fix, at least for me, just TURN OFF AND ON the monitor, the second monitor will back on again.

My second monitor has gone completely pitch black, but sometimes will come around on its own after a few minutes. But as the days goes by, it does gradually feel worse because it outright refuses to display anything. So unplugging and replugging my second monitor from the monitor itself definitely helped solve this issue.

Thank you for providing a helpful solution.

Saving me dawg, thank you

It worked thx

Thank you so much man, all I needed to do was unplug the second monitor!

Ohhh snap!!! I plugged the TV out , waited 5 seconds. Then it worked!

So i recently got a second monitor from a buddy and someones it boots right up and it works fine, go to sleep after turning off the system next afternoon it doesn't display anything. its ON and i can drag things over to the second monitor but it doesnt display anything (how i know its on its not the same dark black as when there isn't power) this is so frustrating giving the fact that i use it to monitor things and for coding aswell ive swapped out monitors with an very old 12inch monitor and it works fine i dont know if it got hurt or its busy dying please send help xD any advice

(ps i use a vga to hdmi adapter it works fine on the smaller monitor no issues)

thanks in advance

who would've thought that the solution would be to unplug then replug the power supply (i only tried turning the power button on and off)
Thanks a lot
saved me a lot of trouble

all i get is mdmi and analog flashing in the corner, had a geek squad dude come round cost me 158 bucks , and he said was it needed rebooting , having the same prob again now its back to its hdmi analog flash

Well, I just got a new laptop and the extended monitor wasn't happy. Got a black screen with no mouse pointer. I kept re-plugging the HDMI from the laptop end, but only after watching your video, I unplugged it from the monitor side and the monitor came up. Thank you so much for this. However, I am still wondering what made it to work, but at the end, I am happy that my workstation is fit and fine now.

TY

I only have a VGA cable can someone help

I followed every My screen won't work on extend display (the others option work) and when i choose a better frequency my screen display black screen with a little horizontal line at the top of the screen. Anyone have a clue for my problem ? (My drivers are up to date and the frequency are 60Hz by default for both of screen,it worked perfectly fine yesterday and i changed the cable for a new one, I tested with a another PC and it worked well)

thx this helped a lot

Thank you! You're the best, I was already thinking about buying a new monitor

You're a legend! This helped me so much i thought my pc was broken you saved me thousands!

Worked for me to restart my drivers with windowslogo-ctrl-shift-B

ur the best bro

Thank you man! You saved my day

For me it's fine until a game loads, the game screen goes black, how to fix?

What you did does sometimes works but your explanation is wrong it has to do with Windows fails to id the device correctly or forgets or the handshake the plug and play function the order in which it looks at what is connected. When you unplug the cable it renegotiate the plug and play. It been a problem since windows 95. Microsoft always blames everyone else. It has all ways been buggy with mismatch monitors or VgA/hdmi/dmi.

im trying to connect my laptop to a monitor through HDMI, and it showed on black screen just like this one. at first it didnt even detect the 2nd monitor. fixed it by manually updating my nvidia driver (using the clean install option). then it detects the 2nd monitor, but still show black. in the end, it was cleaning my laptop's HDMI port that fixed it (just a few strong blow of air to the port)... because this laptop is so dusty. thank you for the help!

I had my monitor black, I tried changing drivers, testing other HDMI cables, I can't believe the monitor came back just unpluggin it from AC..., many thanks bro !!!

Secondary moniter is detected but not displayed through hdmi to hdmi moniter (hdmi power saving mode) but displaying with USB C to Vga moniter.
Not working with (USB C hdmi hub) to hdmi moniter.
Noy working with (HDMI to VGA adapter) to VGA moniter.
When HDMI port gets involved, mointer is dected but not displayed.
Any one counter this problem and got solved?

Bro, u just saved my career today! Thank u wherever you are!

I have a laptop setup with my external monitor as a second screen. It's an iiyama g-master GB34 and I literally just locked my laptop screen and came back to find my monitor screen on but back-lit is black. For the past two days, I've tried to access the OSD menu, use 3 different HDMI cables, tried connecting a pc, 2 different laptops and a ps4 but nothing is popping up apart from a black screen. There isn't even a "no signal" error message popping up. This points to my monitor being the issue. I just don't get it, surely this can't be the end of my monitor..from just locking my laptop screen?!

Use the description maaan. No interest in watching 5,5 mins of babbling and a guy giving a massage for cables. Took 2 minutes to google the solution and read it instead of watching this lmao

Hello there. I have that problem since 2 weeks. nobody could help then i watched your video. It worked first. now it is lost again. I changed nothing but it is gone again.

my second screen is white - I don't know what to do

u r life saver man!

Ok so I noticed a strange thing happening. My monitor only works when i plug in both- the vga, and the hdmi cable. Even if remove one, the display stops working.
I have two outputs from the same cpu going in to the same monitor. What might be the issue here?

It worked! Thanks!

This didn’t work for me…

Fixed my problem. Thank you. IT issues always make me feel like an idiot lol.

Surprisingly unplugging the monitor power cord and plugging it back worked lol. Thank you
