I purchased a second hand monitor to use with my laptop. It's a bit old so I had to get an HDMI to VGA cable. The monitor is definitely powered since when it's unplugged the display comes on telling me there is "no signal" etc and the light on the power button is on, but my laptop can't seem to detect that the monitor is plugged in, and there seems to be no way of getting my desktop to display on it. Screenshot resolution shows only one screen and pressing "detect" does nothing.
I've had a google around but found nothing that was really relevant to my hardware or my problem. Please help me!
