I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (2019) to a Epson Home Cinema 1060 Projector. I am using a "Geddie" adapter for the Thunderbolt to HDMI. The display used to mirror for my projector but now I only get "No Signal" on my projector screen. What can I do to fix this?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Three Thoughts:
A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:
Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Touchpad or for Ports) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.
B. Boot into Safe Mode:
Hold down the shift key upon boot. This will get you into Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, caches are trashed, and all items are set to how they should be, in preparation for the next time you boot up normally.
C. Adapter:
Use this Adapter: USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - Apple
I use it on my projector. As for the HDMI port, I use a low-end cable to connect it to my projector, and it works just fine. You might need a high-HDMI cable (i.e. Monster brand), if this projector is hight end.
