The USB ports are not for video, if that is what you are asking. They are like a USB hub. Plug a usb cable (USB Type A to USB Type B, like this) from computer to upstream port, then you can plug up to 4 USB peripherals in the downstream ports (2 on back, 2 on side), and they will work with that computer. Note that all of the ports are USB 2.0.

 

i want to use it for usb mouse and keyboard but i dont have the type B cable so i just want to know that will the usb ports on the monitor work with mouse and keyboard if i just connect a usb port of cpu to usb port of monitor? without upstream cable??

 

No.

 

Thanks for info

 

The only way a monitor will work as a display is if the computer has a USB C type port and that port is also designated as a display port. Most USB type C ports will not work for a monitor.

 

I had a hard time with finding a manual.
This monitor has 4 USB ports and a USB upstream connector. You can connect a USB cable from the upstream port to the computer. This will activate the 4 USB ports on the monitor. You cannot use the ports any other way.

the cable is a standard USB cable and they are a dime a dozen. Someone should have a spare one (I have tons…)

 

It's the kind of cable that used to be (maybe still is) used to connect a printer via USB to a PC.

 

It is. I deal with Dell monitors all the time. Only the newer bigger monitors have USB-C now.

 

Hello,
i have 2007WFP monitor and it got usb ports on it, i connected the uplink cable still there is power in the usb ports but does not transfer data and the uplink cable isnt recognized in device manager it shows the code 43 error, so i read some posts and i think i need to install driver for my monitor for the usb ports to work, i looked around and didnt find any drivers but broken links,Can someone help me get the drivers or any other way of fixing the issue, i changed several uplink cable but still doesnt work........?????

 

Make sure you do not have any USB devices connected and try to reconnect the cable between the monitor and computer. If it still happens then the issue would be the USB port on the monitor and it's not replaceable.

 

The following is from the manual for the 2007FP monitor. I assume it is the same for the 2007WTP monitor. The upstream cable needed looks like a standard USB Type B to a USB Type A cable like you get with a printer.

 

Still not working it might be my monitor then

 

You used a cable like this to connect the monitor's upstream port to one of the regular USB ports on your PC?

yes. just froget it . i think my monitor usb ports are broken

 

I don't think there are any drivers for that monitor, but I can only find Dell support pages for 2007FP and 2707WFP. There are no drivers for those similar models, which means windows should identify and install whatever is necessary from it's built-in drivers when you plug it in.

What are specs on the computer you are plugging into? Make/model of motherboard or make/model of computer (if it's a brand name, ie dell hp, etc)?

What is OS? Windows 10?

Try it in a different USB port on the computer.

Code 43 often means a hardware problem, here are some tips on how to fix:

but it may not be fixable.
