follow these detailed troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify the Connection:

4. Check USB-C Port Functionality:

5. Test with Another Cable/Display:

8. Restart the Notebook and Display:

• Power off your notebook and the external display.
  
  
• Disconnect all cables and wait for a few seconds before reconnecting.
  
  
• Power on the display first, followed by the notebook.

Reasons for the Issue:

• Incompatible or non-functioning USB-C cables or ports.
  
  
• Incorrect display settings configuration.
