FAQS

Q1: Why doesn't one of the screens light up after I connect the cable?

A: 1): Due to the insufficient voltage of some laptops(5V/2A or above is required), one screen may not work normally. You can try to use the attached adapter to power the screen. 2): Some new models of laptops have two TYPE-C ports, but only one port can output signal in function, which makes them only support one screen display. You can use an additional HDMI cable to start the other monitor screen. 3): Some old models of laptops can't be used because they lack HDMI or Type-C port to connect with the monitor. In this case, you need to use a suitable docking station or hub for connection. 4) Note: If you're not sure whether your laptop is suitable for the monitors after reading our manual, pls contact SOOMFON service email address: support@soomfon.com
