Today's laptops and desktop computers are more user-friendly. As more people start use computers, operating systems, software and hardware accessories are coming with better instruction manuals and streamlined interfaces. Here are a few basic steps to hook up your computer no matter which brand you bought.
Connect the power cable to the back of the computer tower. The male end of this plug is often on the computer, but it is recessed into the casing. Once this power plug is connected, you don't want to plug it into an outlet until the entire computer is set up. Attach the monitor cables to the back of the monitor and then to the back of the computer tower. This cable will probably be the VGA type, which has a wide set of prongs in the middle and two screws on the outside. Be sure to twist the screws in to ensure the cable has a solid connection. Secure the monitor's power cable to the back of the monitor and then plug it into an outlet or power strip. Attach the mouse to the USB port on the back of your keyboard. The keyboard then plugs into another USB port on the back of the computer tower. Turn on the computer and the monitor.
If the computer powers up but the monitor doesn't display anything, make sure the VGA monitor cable is secured. If the status light on your monitor doesn't turn on, check the power cable connection. Check that the mouse and keyboard work once the computer turns on. Now you can hook up other devices, such as a printer or a web cam. A printer often can connect to a USB port and also may have its own power cable; a web cam usually just plugs into a USB or firewire port.
It is basically 2-port USB powered HUB built into the monitor, did you hook up the USB cable from the monitor USB Input port to the USB port on the PC?
On the back side of the monitor, next to the power connector, you'll find a USB "B" connector (the boxy, square one) You need a USB A-to-B cable to connect your PC to the monitor, not a male-to-male (A-to-A) cable.
Hook that up, and you should get the boo-deep sound from your PC as it adds the new USB hub that's inside the monitor.
If this helps, please be sure to hit the "thumbs-up" button for me!
If your laptop isnt recognizing anything hooked up to the usb ports then the mothreboard is bad and needs to be repalced cause its a motherboard issue at that point.
No. USB doesn't send any images. Its a data line. That said, I can't see that your TV does have a USB port.
However, the TV does have s-video in which COULD be used to show your PC on the TV. However, it won't look very good. (Certainly not as good as a computer monitor).
