    Hang on, your going from mini HDMI to HDMI then to VGA? Just because the 2 converters work independently does not mean they are going to work together. I suggest using a mini HDMI to VGA adapter. Alternatively you could give VNC Viewer a look. That would require VNC Viewer to be installed on a computer connected to the monitor, and VNC server to be installed on the Pi.

    @DarthVader mini HDMI is exactly the same as full-size HDMI from electrical point of view.

    Have you tried setting hdmi_safe=1 in config.txt?

I use this HDMI to VGA converter https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01I3K67FK

without problems together with Mini HDMI to HDMI cable from Pihut Essentials to connect Pi Zero to VGA monitor.

I received this Pi VGA adapter, but have not tested it sofar: www.aliexpress.com/item/VGA-adapter-666-for-Raspberry-Pi-A-B-Raspberry-Pi-2-Model-B-RPI-3-Model/32706415666.html enter image description here

I had a similar problem with my rpi zero w, the lights would light up and the monitor would not display a "no signal warning" it turns out the image on my sd card was for a rpi 2 b+ make sure your image is the right one.

  • If you are talking about Raspbian then there is no specific version for any Raspberry Pi model. Raspbian runs on all RasPis.

Too many connections can affect the signals. Use a few conversions for this is not true and it is better to use a converter

use this : mini HTMI to VGA

    A mini HDMI to HDMI adapter is a very simple passive item. Why would it make a difference in this case?

  • True enough! I think this should be qualified by saying it's a possibility and not something that is definitely a significant factor though. Really it would mean the mini adapter is substandard in the same sense a low quality HDMI cable could be a cause of signal loss.
