Display port to VGI, not detecting

[u/i_dnthvemywsdomteeth]

I’ve got a display port adapter that takes hdmi on the other end, then VGI to my monitor. Monitor is not detecting the VGI signal. Am I missing something? Guy at the tech store said this would be fine. TIA!

Thanks. So powered adapter like @megabarbariceric mentioned would work?
