HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA#ABA) does the job on my 1010 and it's 30$.

I was actually trying to do something similar I used this HDMI To VGA Converter It worked really well and it wasn't that that expensive, only like 70 bucks

. It converted the left and right audio signal as well to RCA.

I am confused. I would like to connect my Mini10 with a HDMI port to a projector with VGA input. Will this cable work?

Basic answer is that cable alone won't do anything.

Interesting about the HP adapter. I called HP and they told me it would only work on the four HP machines they list as compatable. Why would they say that? No one would buy a machine based on the adapter would they?

Of course HP is going to tell you that - they won't claim support for any non-HP models.

I need a small piece of information on hdmi usage.

Can i connect my mini 10 to a laptop and use my tablet as an monitor using HDMI pins. what are the config changes i need to do for making me access the laptop through the tablet. or should i need to use an different HDMI adapter for this to happen .

holmes4 · 12-07-2011, 12:48 PM

Not possible. it is not just a matter of pins.

Rajath · 12-08-2011, 04:24 AM

Thanks for the reply sir,
Can i have a solution for my problem or any other alternatives.

There is no way I know of to use the screen of your Mini (or really, pretty much any laptop computer) as an external monitor.
