  1. Disclaimer: this is my first time on this forum, i'm very sorry if there is anything wrong with this topic. So it all started when we were trying to plug a second monitor into a samsung laptop, the monitor has nothing special, its a VGA-only Asus monitor, and the laptop we are talking about is a Samsung NP300E5M. well, everything was going great, the laptop I/O provided us only with an HDMI port, but that's fine, since we bought an HDMI to VGA adapter. The issue appeared when we tried finally plugging the laptop to the monitor on the following order: Laptop > Converter > VGA cable > Asus monitor. Well, windows recognized a display plugged in, and would let us configure the display "normally" on settings, but there is always this small issue: the monitor is not plugged into any kind of power (unless ((if there is any)) the power coming from the VGA adapter and cable), whenever the monitor is connected to a power socket, laptop immediately stops recognizing the secondary display. We tried troubleshooting the issue ourselves, and we found that the issue may be on the laptop's I/O, because the same issue is present when plugging the laptop on a TV straight through HDMI, no adapters or VGAs involved. Is this a case of haunted hardware? how can we troubleshoot it more, or find a way to fix it? Thank you for reading this, i apologize again, i hope we can all discuss this and find an answer
