carlyai Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is it on your monitor? If so could be for dual screen ....just a guess.Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny2017 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is it on your TV, or PC? The sign usually means that you can connect another monitor at his point. Newer ones have HDMI, but the port is to small for a VGA connection. Can you be a bit more precise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) It's on the back of a computer. I recall seeing it in the shop and the clerk was pretty dense and said something about charging phones but I could tell he wasn't confident about that. It doesn't fit for charging cords and the symbol obviously is wrong for that. It does look like hooked up monitors but I don't know of or have any plug that fits it. Of course it's not VGA or HDMI. Still a mystery I guess. Maybe it's a hole for airing things out?? Edited August 16, 2018 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n210mp Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) could it be for a "Mini" HDMI for a second monitor? Some graphic cards have two HDMI port, a normal sized one and a Mini (Obviously if the space is empty it could be missing!)

Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app As Jdietz has added a link, it’s a Kensington Lock hole to secure your PC or laptop with a cable and number lock ( similar to a cable for securing bicycles)The symbol represents a chain ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
