Why am I experiencing issues converting from HDMI to VGA on certain devices?

Question

Accepted Answer

Certain HDMI sources have known issues where they do not output enough power over HDMI to power HDMI adapters. In this case, it is best to consider HDMI adapters with external power over USB or with an external power adapter. This affects our HDMI to VGA adapters. See below for alternative solutions.
