Mini Display Port Stopped Working (MacBook Air)

I have a MacBook Air (2015) plugged into an external HP Monitor via Mini Display to HDMI. It worked for a year and has just recently stopped working. If i restart the computer a few times and do the Command + Option + P + R reset it sometimes works, but not every time. Any suggestions to get the mini-display port working properly again?

if Axel's advice did not work,

check to see if the plug fully plugged in?

sometimes i don't plug mine all the way in and get frustrated , then i realize the TV part is not in all the way.

could be the chords itself as well, or the setting in monitor needs tweaking.

Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
