      Best i can say is, have you done an update and upgrade recently to your Pi (assuming you are on Rasbian or NOOBS OS)?

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade
      

      and make sure all drivers and configurations are current?

      Might start with a new installation of the Pi OS and go from there.

      May also need to try to find the differences in the configurations between your Pi and your friends.

        @kckndrgn Thanks for replying!

        I’ve done a update/upgrade but same resaults, and yes, I’ve reinstalled Jessie on my SD card. But before I reseted my SD-card I tried it in his RPI and it worked. So
        My card -> His RPI, WORKS
        His cars -> His RPI, WORKS
        My C -> my rpi, NO
        His C -> ^^^^, NO.

        So it’s something with my hardware to do but can’t figure out how and why… It’s not like there is a BIOS reset anywhere either. :(
        And the powersupply should be good when I’ve used the same stuff on his RPI when it works. It’s so weird. It’s just a video output.

          Sounds like you have a bad Pi then.

          Don’t know if there is any support in the Pi/Linux world but maybe you can use a USB to VGA adapter? I’ve got one on my PC (running winblows) for a dual monitor setup.

            There is also this little beauty
            https://www.pi-supply.com/product/gert-vga-666-hardware-vga-raspberry-pi/

            it uses the gpio pins instead of the hdmi output.

              @Knox I’ve thought about that but just that I’ve tried 3 different converters makes me mad when it doesn’t work for some unknown reason. But maybe I just have to accept it and buy one. :)
