Suddenly I cannot connect my monitor via USB C to displayport cable to my spectre x360 laptop. I tried pushing the power button for 30 seconds, uninstalled graphicscard and USB drivers, nothing solved the problem. What can I do?

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I see that you are facing an issue with your Laptop.

Follow the below steps to fix the issue.

 

-Perform a power drain on your PC.

 

1) Unplug the power cord from the PC & wall.

2) Disconnect the power cable from the AC adapter if it is a detachable part and keep it aside.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the AC adapter, then connect it to the wall and to the charging port on your PC.

5) Power on the PC and update the BIOS for your PC by clicking on the link.

 

Make sure you keep only the charger plugged in while updating the BIOS for your PC.

Click on the + sign next to BIOS and then download the file.

Open the file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.

 

-Install all the pending updates for the Windows operating system following the below steps.

 

Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates. If the upgrade is available for your device and you want to proceed, download and install it.

Hi @Irwin6,

thanks a lot for your reply. I followed all your steps, unfortunately the external monitor is still not connecting. Nothing happens when I plug in the cable. Screen and cable work, tests with another notebook were succesful. How can this problem be solved?

Best regards,

Sebastian
