HP Recommended
Product: HP 3005rp
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone. 

 

First, the specs:

HP Envy 17

HP 3005pr Port Replicator

Windows 10 64b

 

I just installed my new PR.  At first, everything went smoothly and, so far, everyting works fine except 1 thing. 

 

I have a monitor tat only has VGA and DVDi connctors.  Before the PR I had this connected directly to my Envy using a VGA-HDMI converter pigtail cable.  It works great.

 

I connect it to the PR and it works fine...at first.  THen very soon thereafter, the screen flickers like the power to it is cycling on and off, then it just looses the image complete and the monitor goea in and out of sleep mode.

 

Any suggestions?  Other than a new monitor?  Right now I have it plugged in to my ENvy's HDMI as before and it is working fine.  I can leave it that way, but that's ont exactly what I bought the PR for and it makes me skiddish about whether or not another monitor hanging off it will work.

 

Thanks,

HW
