the female section of the connecter has some extra plastic, should that be cut of to ensure the cable is connected. Not detecting after restart too.

I stopped using it for my Surface Pro. But, when I was using it, when it was working, that is, I did not need to cut off the extra plastic. The male section of the HDMI cable fits snugly, and the extra part covers it. I am using a HDMI-DVI adapter for my Acer and Dell lcd monitor.

The cable has two ends that connect together. The ends are somewhat sharp but there is no problem when the ends are connected.

Make sure you dont have the cable connected the wrong way. It can be connected backwards. Switch the cable ends.

Apparently it is with the connectors. I had a person look at it and it has been working ever since but I don't know what he did to make it work. Keep trying to insert it and maybe it will fix itself.

Mine did. The picture shows it as well. Look where the cable goes into the plug and you will see it.

Check that the cable is fully seated in your PC. I had the same issue, I thought it was fully plugged in but there was one more click it could go.

It depends on how you have it connected. It's hard to tell without seeing what your connection is looking like. When it does that, there is something that is not connect correctly.

On my tester, it will either light up or not, might be a loose connector be sure and check the leads into the the plastic 20pin connector, that they are all seated and the female connectors are not spread out..

hey thanks for the reply. Do I need to buy another cable to make the connection ?

sorry, I do not know. Mine doesn't have that proble. Perhaps the cable or the connector is damaged.

The tester is in 2 pieces just connect 1 on each end of your cable. On mine I had a 100 ft cable with problems and it scanned it and found 1 broken wire. The tester scans by stepping through the cable 1 wire at a time and if broken it will skip the bad wire. Hope this helps the cheap thing works...

Make sure that it's screwed in all the way and the connection is good. If it doesn't, you may have a bad unit. I purchased one almost a year ago and it still works for me.

I would check that the main (wider) ribbon cable is installed correctly - that the contacts on the ribbon cable mate to the correct contacts on the circuit board.

Be sure you have the laptop battery removed when connecting the cable also do not have the laptop plugged in when installing.

check to see if the connection is lose, other wise you will need this piece

Only thing I can think of is make sure everything is properly connected. A connection could be loose

I had a similar issue, and it turned out that a cable inside had snapped. I called the manufacturer and purchased a replacement cable for about $7. It was easy to install, and certainly worth the cost/effort.
