ASUS VG248QE DVI-D Dual Link Cable "missing" according to monitor

[tirakyalidoktor]

I've been using Displayport for my pc since i bought it. The cable stopped working so i bought a DVI-D Dual Link as a replacement 'till the new DP Cable arrives. When plugged in the DVI-D Dual Link cable and trying to set my monitor refreshment rate to 144hz it says "cable incorrect Please use Dual Link DVI cable" Now im sure that the cable im using is a dvi-d dual link cable and the monitor is able to produce 144hz but what im not sure of is that did i placed the cable right? i did not screw those right-left things but afterall it did plug in, displayed the screen.

Help me guys PLEASE! Since buying the computer the only problems im dealing with are with these cables.

Where did you buy the "DVI-Dual Link" cable?

If your rig is telling you it's an incorrect cable, it likely is.

The only elements at play are your GPU and monitor - if your GPU drivers are up to date (and it can display 144Hz over DisplayPort), then there's a good chance it is the cable that's at fault.

All I can suggest, is to buy another DVI-D from a reputable source, and try that.

which graphics card is it?

I bought it from an online-reseller from the site "Gittigidiyor" associated with e-bay anyway this is the product:http://urun.gittigidiyor.com/taki-saat/dvi-d-24-1-pin-dual-link-altin-uclu-dijital-goru-229846854

Cable is from a company called Ti-Mesh never heard of them but its hard to find a proper cable where i live. I bought another DP Cable as i've mentioned and this is only a re-placement but i suspect DisplayPort on my monitor is dead and if so it's a dead end.

Graphics card is MSI GTX 1070 and Drivers are up to date

How does your cable look? And what did it cost?

I've never heard of "Ti-Mesh" before - the pics on their site have no watermarks etc, look like generic chinese-made 'alternatives' to me, but most cables will look very similar so that's hard to tell.

This is what it looks like;http://i.imgur.com/Aq31wIn.jpg

And it was around 15 dollar. I can always request for a re-fund after being sure that this is a copycat and not the cable that seller claimed it was.

As you'll see in the video I linked, having the appropriate pins really means nothing.

 

[tirakyalidoktor]

So, do you have any recommendations for a company that i can buy directly from them? The only two good ones that i know of are DARK and S-Link

Sometimes GPU's have two DVI ports and only one is the DVI-D port. Confirm you are using the DVI-D port.

How long is your replacement DP cable going to take? Seems kind of pointless to be out more cash for a (very?) short-term solution? Even non Dual DVI should get you through until the DP cable arrives?

 

[tirakyalidoktor]

Well GPU has only one DVI port so thats not the case. DP Cable arrived and the port is dead very unfortunately, not a problem with GPU tried all 3 ports on it. I dont know how to replace a dead-port on a monitor Not sure if the company i bought would replace the port or the monitor itself since it still has its warranty.

hdmi doesn´t work too?

 

[Barty1884]

How did you come to the conclusion the DisplayPort port on the monitor is broken? Out of curiosity...

 

[helpstar]

other devices/PCs/Laptop/DVD player doesn´t work either?

 

[tirakyalidoktor]

HDMI works i've been using it since the first cable broke or atleast i thought it did. And i didnt exactly understand what you mean by other devices etc.

I have not conclude in anything its just what seems likely to be my problem since there is nothing else i can think of. If you can run another idea about it i would love to hear it

DVI-D Cable i bought appears not to be Dual Link so its port is not dead.

 

[helpstar]

thought all 3 ports of the monitor are dead

 

[tirakyalidoktor]

The only problem is with DisplayPort

When booting up my pc for the first time i did not receive a signal for pc-monitor connection but that was caused by a silicone particule that was stuck in mobo's cpu stock so it was fixed easily by knowing the problem.


EDIT: Well after pluggin out the power cord for a min and then plugging it back... It worked! I found this from the "Displayport no signal on ASUS VG248QE" title.
