Monitor not connecting

[bjohnson516]

Hi,

I have a MacBook Air (Monterey - 12.0.1) and a portable AOC E1659FWU portable monitor.

The AOC monitor doesn't have a power adapter, and it is powered by a laptop.

My Mac refuses to power and use the screen all of a sudden. I read a lot online that DisplayLink should help, but I installed many of the versions, and none of them resolved my issue.

I have also brought a new connector cord and it still does not work. I bought the screen on 2/7, so it is fairly new.

Thanks,
Brandon

Hello, I this cases I can suggest to use some docking station with external power supply for fix this issue .
Unfortunately, some models of Macbooko do not give sufficient power supply
