When hdmi is plugged in the screen works as it should no issue.
Hdmi to dvi d cable not working.
Alternatively you can use an hdmi cable with an added hdmi to dvi adapter or a dvi cable with a dvi to hdmi adapter.

I ve connected the laptop hdmi port to the monitor s dp port and there is no signal at the monitor.
I would like to set up her laptop to connect via the displayport input.

When i do this my laptop doesn t recognize the monitor at all it doesn t turn black like it does when i use the hdmi dvi cable alone and the monitor continues to countdown the.
They re both set up via dvi d from her surface dock and work just fine via the dvi d input.
As for testing whether the cable might ve been faulty or the gpu socket i tested it with another monitor which has the same input.
