No it will not work. That is exactly why I bought it and it will not configure correctly.

I used mine to replace a charging port on a Acer laptop.worked ok, but was tricky. don't overheat the connections! use as little heat as needed to melt the solder. don't overdo it on the heat. hope this helps.

Joseph: I am not to clear on all the technical details you describe. I do can tell you that I used this Startech HDMI2DP device to connect my MS Surface (HDMI out) to display video on my HP monitor (DisplayPort In) and it worked just perfect... with full resolution.

Dear Customer, Being that you have a new laptop, this cable may not be able to work. Please know that this cable is not an active cable and may have a hard time detecting the devices. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thank You, Customer Care

I would doubt what you have stated. This should work on any laptop/PC with a USB2.0 slot. It doesnt matter if it is HP or any other brand as long as USB2.0 option is provided ( I did try on a old HP Desktop and it worked fine). It might struggle if it is connected via a USB hub. So direct connectivity is recommended. Even if there is a power source issue with certain computers, then you can go for a twin-head USB cable (sold separately) for drawing power from two USB slots in the computer. Hope this helps.

You would think if one adapter worked for acer that all would. But since its not listed as one of the 23 compatible ones I wouldn't buy it

Feb. 24 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs, Texas USA.Hello, S. King. I do not know the answer to your question.However, when I received my Hewlett Packard monitor, I learned that I would need a special cable to connect the monitor to my HP computer. I called HP at 1-800-474-6836 or 1-800-724-6631, I don't remember which one.A fellow at HP was very helpful: He told me exactly which cable I would need to buy.I hope this helps.LeeJai

Yes, that's how I originally tested it, and it worked fine for my Acer laptop.-Chris

I'm having the same problem. Acer says that if you add an adapter card, the onboard adapter is disabled. This is ridiculous. I have since bought a dual monitor invidia card and it won't show two monitors either. The Acer must be blocking it somehow. To boot, Acer's support sucks, It's going back where I bought it, right now.

This uses a PATA cable native to 2.5"/laptop drives which carries power over the extra set of pins. There's 44 pins instead of just 40 on the interface. (This is *not* the master/slave setting pins).If you're trying to hook this up to a desktop, you'll need to get an 2.5" PATA to 3.5"/standard PATA adapter. These usually include a Molex plug for hooking in power. If it's going into an old laptop that has a PATA interface, you should already have all you need. Or, if it's going into a PATA to USB adapter (like an external drive enclosure), you should also be good to go.

I want to say no because the one I received didn't work. However I'm unsure if that was due to compatibility or if the cable was faulty. (The cable fit into the port of the laptop but would not remain in with out leverage).

yes! I got it hooked up to a hp pavilion as long as u have a normal VGA cord (that's been used forever) and if it needs a different connection you can always just search around on here and find adapters for it, good monitor by the way! the only thing is, that I cant seem to ever turn it off without turning off the whole tower.. no biggie though, it just says power button lockout?.. side note I just realized that was one of those newer win8 and if you mean for a second monitor? then i found this for you off hp website; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi, The machine does not have any port for a second monitor: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03923492#N1126 You need an USB to video connector (DVI, VGA ...) or something like the following adapter: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-U3-UV39-KR Regards. you can also find any product on those site (a lot) cheaper on amazon so check amazon first before going for one of the manufactures websites but! also you will need to turn off your touch screen option first? possibly not here's link to question on hp website http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/TouchSmart-PC/how-to-add-second-monitor-to-hp-envy-recline/td-p/3092851

Yes, that's the laptop I have and it works great. Since I use it for work applications I hardly notice the transition from my two monitors because the hookups for dual monitor use are one DVI and one VGA. Plus my monitors aren't DELL or matched in size either (gasp!) In this day and age it pays to recycle and I'm using the e-port with two HP wide screen monitors, one is 23" & the other is 21" . I'm also using a serial-to-usb converter to re-use my old serial bus keyboard and I'm using a blu tooth mouse which stays attached to the laptop not the docking station. This e-port works with all Dell E-series laptops from my understanding.

I am using this adapter for a third monitor in windows 8 on an asus laptop. Since I already have four monitors on my windows7 I tried to add a fifths monitor with this adapter but could not, however, I think it with the hp laptop not the adapter.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.

sure sounds like you need something to convert from 9 to 15 pin. just make sure if there sides are male or female. coming off the computer is a femaie so you would need a male 9 pin and a female 15 pin to connect to the monitor.double check this before ordering good luck
