Q: MacBook Pro Late 2011 shows black screen when connected to external monitor
Hello
I have an old Macbook Pro 13" from late 2011 and also a 23" external monitor LG Flatron. It has an DVI to HDMI adaptor in the back.
I tried to connect the two devices using an amazonbasics mini dp to hdmi and an amazonbasics hdmi cable. So there are 3 connectors, 1) mini dp to hdmi 2) hdmi cable 3) hdmi to dvi.
The laptop recognises the external display and so does the monitor. The thing is that nothing is displayed. everything is black. I can move the mouse to the external monitor(even though I can't see it going there)
Please help
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), LG Flatron external monitor
