A user connects a new external high-resolution monitor to the USB Type-C port of a corporate laptop. The monitor powers on and receives charging power from the laptop, but no image appears on the external display. Testing the same monitor and cable on a colleague's laptop results in immediate video output. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?
- The laptop's USB Type-C port does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode.Cevap
- BThe external monitor requires a Thunderbolt host controller to accept video signals over a physical USB Type-C connection.
- CThe laptop's internal display inverter board has failed, preventing signal output to secondary displays.
- DThe laptop battery requires a full calibration discharge cycle to reset the display controller power state.
Cevap
The laptop's USB Type-C port does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
The correct answer identifies that physical USB Type-C connectors do not universally support video transmission. Display output over USB-C requires host hardware support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode). Since the monitor and cable work on another machine, the issue stems from feature limitations on the specific laptop's USB-C port controller.
