Greetings all! I have the (brilliant) AMD framework laptop and I couldn’t be happier with it … except my portable monitor isn’t working. It’s an Ali Express purchased no-name brand 14-inch model with USB-C input for power and signal. The screen works perfectly fine with my Lenovo laptop, but only …

[image] George_Karanikos: I’ve played around a little more and can confirm that if I plug USB-A into the power input of the monitor, then USB-C to display it does work. Note it doesn’t work using separate USB-C for power. All pointing to what you and Jonathan above describe. Appreciate the resp…

My Batch 10 13" AMD Framework arrived today and i have a similiar issue. I have both upper slots with USB-C and i currently can only attach a 4K144Hz Monitor over USB-C to the port on the right side. The left connects but doesn’t send a signal (on Windows 11 with newest drivers and BIOS). EDIT: Now…

[image] Vladyslav_Kalinovsky: EDIT: Now, after a reboot, both ports don’t work for display anymore Is this a direct connection USB-C to USB-C? We actively test with HDMI and DP expansion cards as that is what our displays here at my home office use.

Yes it’s a direct USB-C to USB-C connection to a USB-C Monitor

I am also seeing issues with the AMD Framework and USB-C portable monitors on 3.03. I have the Asus 15.6" ZenScreen which works perfectly. It’s a single usb-c cord device. However, I also have a UPERFECT 18.5 inch Portable Monitor which doesn’t work so well on USB-C. The UPERFECT monitor has 2 US…

I’m having a similar issue on Intel 11th gen: [image] Portable monitor doesn't work over USB-C (Intel 11th gen) Framework Laptop 13 Framework 13 Intel 11th gen BIOS v3.19 Windows 11 I recently bought a USB-C portable monitor. It works just fine with other laptops, eve…

I don’t know if this helps at all, but with my issue, it seems that the monitor properly connects more often when it charges the laptop. If the laptop is above the charging threshold, the pass-through charging USB-C cable that also serves as the video input cable does not get detected on the Framewo…

This is affecting me as well. I’ve tried two portable monitors these past few weeks and neither of them would work with a single USB-C data/power connection. However, when I connect an unpowered USBC hub to my framework and run 2 cables from that into the monitor, it will work fine. Since I am only…

Just chiming in that my Framework 13 AMD also seems problematic with USB-C portable monitors. I’ve tried 4 and only one briefly worked with a single cable, but it would only work for a bit before shutting off. I thought it was a problem w/ the monitor but now I’m wondering if it’s the Framework. Oth…

I also have this issue. Using the MNN portable 15.6" monitor I got off amazon. Single USB Type C cable works with my old laptop but when connecting to my AMD Framework, it powers the monitor up for a second but then displays no signal. This cable is USB 3.1 Gen 2. I saw someone in another thread say…
