Hello. I am trying to connect my pc that has only HDMI to a monitor that has only an VGA entry with an adaptor cable HDMI to VGA, and I am getting no signal on the monitor. Any advise, please_
Thank you very much!
Is this a good question?

Hi,
Because HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analogue signal, you need a converter to connect between the HDMI output and the VGA input
Here are some examples. As I do not know your location you may have to source them 'closer to home'.

Be wary of the ones, because they are cheap, that show only a cable having different connectors at each end. (Here is an example http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HDMI-Male-to-... . You need something to convert the signal from digital to analogue, just wiring two different types of connectors together can't do it.
Was this answer helpful?
I do have this problem on some of the monitors I connected to. It works on my monitor at home but it doesn't at school. The monitors were of different brands.

Didn’t he already mention that he is using “ADAPTER” HDMI to VGA?

Hi,
There's adapters and then there's "adapters".
You need to look for the ones that actually state that they "convert" the signal and give the product specs and whether or not they require external power to operate, not that they just have the appropriate connectors at each end.
