How to connect Pro Desk 600 to a Monitor

Dexter1011 · ‎06-21-2022

Total newbie of the worst kind, desperately seeking help!

I bought my son a ProDesk 600, trying to connect to Asus VP278 gaming monitor. Can't figure out what cord to use.

ProDesk has VGA connection for monitor, my monitor has VGA & HDMI ports. Tried HDMI to VGA cord but could not see anything. I've verified the monitor works when power is on, the ProDesk appears to work when powered up but we can't see anything. I've been reading about the data ports but it's not making any sense. I need "dummy" instructions here. What do I need to do to get this monitor working, please?!

hi

if the computer has a video output, vga, and the screen has a vga input, then you must use a VGA/VGA Cable

Thank you so much! Do I have to do anything with the data port on the computer? Or does it get left empty?

sorry I don't understand who are you talking about?

we need the exact model of your computer, and the product number
To find it follow this
for a desktop computer

HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? | HP® Customer Support

Give the full name with the product number P / N

this is not a model:
HP Desktop M01-F1xxx
the requested product number must look like this
Product Number: 9EE50AA # ABA
the model corresponding to this number will therefore be
HP Desktop - M01-F1033wb
