Probleemoplossing

V1: Hoe om te kyk of die Type-C-poort op my skootrekenaar 'n volfunksiepoort is?
A1: If your laptop has a USB-C port with one of the following symbols (or the Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, DP 1.2), then it is a Full-function Type-C port. You can use the Type-C to C cable to connect each screen. (You can't check the manual or go online to check the computer port parameters.)

Q2: Why does one monitor show "No Signal"?
A2:

1. If the cable you are using is Type-C, it means that your computer's Type-C port only supports power and has no video output; you also need to connect an HDMI cable to the screen to provide video signal output.
2. If you are using HDMI as video output, and connect a Type-C cable, it means that your laptop can't provide 5V/2A power through the Type-C port; you also need to connect an external 5V/2A power adapter to power the screen.

Q3: The screen does not light up after connected?
A3:

1. Check if your laptop's Type-C port supports display and power delivery. If the port does not support, please use the included HDMI cable and Type-C to Type-A cable (or Type-C cable) to connect the screen.
2. Please use the included Type-C cable to connect an external power supply that provides 5V/2A to power the screen.

Q4: Why is one of my displays not showing a signal on my MacBook Air with the M2 chip?
A4: The MacBook Air with an M2 chip does not support dual-screen setups. This includes the M1 chip as well, which means you cannot connect to the dual-screen monitor F2.
