How to Setup - Cevaton S3 Triple Screen Extender Setup Guide

[@lizlaz57]

I have a MacBook Pro with only 2 USB-C ports and no other ports. Only one of the 2 ports is fully sufficient. How can I connect the second screen?

[@hasilnlux]

same issue. i havent found an answer, have you?

[@heathertriggwatson5498]

Thank you for making this video tutorial. I was getting so frustrated with the supplied instructions and setup and was about to return the product. I'm so grateful because I really need the additional monitors.

[@techfulgoodies]

Glad it helped!!!

[@swimmer751]

THANK YOU! Right Monitor Finally worked. On my setup: HDMI connected to the "USBC with DP" and the USBA connected to the middle "Type C1."

[@kathyking6964]

Thank you so much for your advice about powering the 2nd screen. I was told to purchase a h5-t hub and that didn't work. Thanks to you and this video, all I needed was a power adapter for the 2nd screen. I don't have to return my dual monitor now. Thanks again.

[@codemaster6521]

Please help, right screen says no signal and entering power saving mode, what do I do.

This was so incredibly helpful for setting up my triple screen product. You are so good at explaining the "why" behind the cables and their differences. Thank you!!

[@Nicstewert]

This is one of the most helpful videos ever! You were the first video that came up when i searched for a reason the right side of my new screen set wasn't working. You just happened to have MY screen set and MY laptop and of course, the problem was a need for the second cable to feed power to the right side. I was seriously about to just return this thing as being garbage but it was such a simple fix (Naturally mentioned no where in the instructions). Thanks dude!

[@techfulgoodies]

Glad it helped!

[@CitizenB23]

I only have 1 USB-C port. Is there a way to Daisy Chain the monitors? Thank you! super helpful video

[@techfulgoodies]

Not that I know of but that doesn't mean it isn't possible - I just don't know of a way. Thanks!!

[@mklonz]

If you're experiencing one of the monitors saying no signal, here is what to do. Go into display settings and you should see three monitors with one smaller than the other two. That means your computer is detecting it, but there is no signal going to it. Go down to multiple displays and click Extend desktop to this display and it should fix the problem.

[@parajitorojo]

I’m experience no signal in only one of the extenders. I tried both extenders only with the usb-c and they would both say no signal. Then I texted both with usb a and hdm1 and they both worked individually, but my laptop don’t have a second hdm1 so the other extender just won’t work with only the c! My laptop usb-c port has the lighting symbol just like yours so I don’t get it

[@kirstyelton6641]

You are literally my saviour right now!! Tried to figure it out myself, then googled! Thank you my friend, you're a legend!! Love from the UK ❤

[@reginamyers2225]

This was helpful and easy to understand. My husband and I have two different laptops. My only suggestion would be for you to explain and provide instructions for multiple types of laptop ports (ex. surface or apple)

[@MrDullah32]

Thank you for walking me through this set up process. You totally explained why the HDMI wasn't powering up when I plugged it in. Easy- Peasy my friend. I appreciate it and keep up the great work. 3/24/2024

[@techfulgoodies]

Awesome, thank you so much. That's why I put this video together - it's a pretty great system, just some quirks to figure out

[@MrDullah32]

Absolutely. Keep up the great work@@techfulgoodies

[@TheRottwire]

Excellent guide. Thank you, always.

[@jafethgarcia4819]

How do you power the laptop while you have both screens connected?

[@techfulgoodies]

How do you have the screens connected? A full featured USB-C connection will power one screen with just one cable. If you are using HDMI, you must use an additional USB cable to power the HDMI monitor.

[@nadinefenn9154]

Thank you for the video, quick question: if your c port on your laptop is not thunderbolt how then do you get your third screen working?

[@techfulgoodies]

You are out of luck unless you have more than one video out port on your laptop.

[@McLeod2022]

Fantastic tutorial. I kept not seeing the USB-C dedicated to the HDMI cable set and was going MAD trying every iteration... but the correct one... which you very clearly and easily provided in a no nonsense, worked first watch through vid. ** An aside for those buying - I don't trust the holding tabs on ea side... had my laptop slip out more than once so I just have the side screens on their own, which lets me put a cooling pad under my laptop anyway so meh... works fine if you have the foot print on the table.

[@techfulgoodies]

Awesome, glad I could help. Yeah, the side clips are not my favorite either.

[@johnkeogh5119]

Same here - thanks for sharing so I didn't have to go all the way through the video.

[@yyycma3]

Great video! I've been considering getting something like this. I really liked your explanation of the setup process. I found you because of one of your Temu haul videos. Those are always enjoyable!

[@techfulgoodies]

Thanks! I find that a lot of people have a hard time with the setup. Also, I have some more Hauls coming out soon!

[@robertojperezp]

I liked very much this video. Not only describes the product also give you other alternatives how to take advantage of the product and explain the differences between power and communication cables.....

[@KsbscomboTravel]

thank you for the v helpful explanation. I have a Huawei D15 Matebook which only has 1 USBC port used for charging + 1 HDMI + 3 USB slots. your video helped me realise the charging problem, which i then solved by buying a USB to HDMI with Display link from amazon for 50 gbp (ouch!) and now i have both screens working. 1 from the native HDMI port + USB to power the screen and the 2nd from the converted USB to HDMI + another USB to power the screen. it leaves my USB C free to use as a charger and an unused USB port on my laptop...

[@VRanee]

Great information. Very easy to follow! Unfortunately, my USB C is not full featured. I tried to buy the product they recommended (USBA to HDMI and HDMI to USB C cable) but it is out of stock. Do you have one that you recommend? I afraid of purchasing the wrong one.

[@techfulgoodies]

I haven’t tried that method so I don’t feel comfortable suggesting. But if you get it on Amazon, you can return it if it doesn’t work

[@melissad.1885]

My usb-c isn't working, but the HDMI does. Is the usb-c absolutely necessary since I have other ports like usb-a? *Disregard, customer service was great and I got a simple adapter to use the screens with my laptop. They recommended a USB-A to HDMI with Displaylink. Since I use an HP, I could just grab a USB-A/HDMI adapter and plug-and-go.

If you have only one usb-c port on your laptop...how do you get power to your laptop to charge after setting this up?

Unfortunately, my type C to my HP computer does not power the monitor. So if I set up the left monitor with the type C to HDMI and the type C to USB, I can view it as a second screen. But if I duplicate that on the right screen, it states no cable. Both monitors are set up exactly alike but only one displays. Any advice?

I don't know if you are using Mac or Windows but it sounds like you need to go into your display properties or display options and drag your screen location around to make sure that the screens are in the right location. www.howtogeek.com/666239/how-to-rearrange-multiple-monitors-on-windows-10/

This was a really good video. However, I have a brand new Macbook Air 16 GB with Mac OS 15.1, and no matter what I do, I cannot get both screens on at the same time.

How are you hooking up the one that works and how did you hook up the one that doesn't work? That type of cable? USB-C for both or one is HDMI?

[@korimanus2324]

What is the set up for a macbook pro for these screens?

[@michaelcaldwell4890]

If you are like me and have an older MacBook pro with no USB-C port you can buy an adapter that will make an HDMI port out of your Firewire port and then just connect the monitors using two HDMI to USB-C and then the two USB-A to USB-C. Hope that makes sense. It works!

[@techfulgoodies]

Hard for me to say - have you tried just using the HDMI on one of the screens without the USB-C plugged into the other? Also, there are multiple ports on the back of the screen (I think) and have you tried the HDMI cable in all of them one by one to make sure you are plugged into the right place?

@jayemoseley8790 Hey Jay so I did one with C port and the other with the USB port which requires power, so you need to have 2 cables in that monitor. 1 for power and one for USB...make sure you plug the power one first and that what worked for me finally. I hope this helps you. Let me know.

[@trae326]

I wish you had explained how to work with an unsupported USB-C (the symbol confirms this). When I plug into the left side, the monitor briefly turns on and displays a message saying, “Go to power saving.” My HP is plugged into an outlet, but I need guidance on what to do. Please help-otherwise, I may have to return this or take a loss.

I had the same thing happen. First make sure to connect your power (USB a) and you should see the light on the back where you plug it in. Then connect the hdmi making sure to plug the hdmi to the bottom port on the back.
