X220 no display on DP-to-HDMI cable

#1 Post by Thinkpad_user » Fri Mar 11, 2022 11:47 am

Hello ThinkPad lovers

I have an X220 Tablet with modified BIOS (v1.46).
Dual monitor was working without issues using a DP-to-HDMI cable but suddendley stopped.
I tried using different cables, different TV's, laptop DP port and UltraBase DP port but without success.

I don't know if this has any relation, but i was messing in BIOS advanced options trying to setup an external GPU Dock.
VGA dual monitor works fine.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Sorry to hear about your trouble.

Since you tried changing most of the hardware that can be changed, and the result is the same - did you consider a software issue?

Try reinstalling the GPU driver / booting a different operating system through LiveCD.

Thank you dr_st, sorry i was away.

For software side, i tried :
4 different windows 7 systems including two fresh installations (with generic drivers).
3 different ubuntu installed systems, and many many live systems (USB and ISO's).
Not solved yet.
The same systems worked before.

I think it's related to advanced BIOS options, if anyone had the same issue, any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank

I don't have experience with the modded BIOS, but if there is an option to reset all BIOS settings to default, I would try that (unless you already have).
