I need to connect my Mac book pro 15” early with thunderbolt type 1 to a tv.
some years ago I had a Apple cable connector with input port usb and thunderbolt too and HDMI port as output. Exist something cable yet?

you haven't said which ports you have on the TV.
for an HDMI TV, you need an Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter, or the equivalent, as well as an HDMI cable of appropriate length.
also, the Mini DisplayPort output does not send audio so you will need to find a solution for that. I would recommend an USB Low Latency Bluetooth transmitter on the Mac end, and an appropriate Low Latency Bluetooth receiver for the TV.

it should be plug and play.
the obvious guess, which you likely have done already, is to ensure you've used the "source" menu to ensure that the TV is using the correct input.
if you've done that, the next step would be to reset the SMC of the Mac, as well as an NVRAM reset. please see these apple support pages:

Hi Jeffry and thanks for your answer.
I already bought the adapter and a hdmi cable that you described, but it doesn’t work.
The tv write signal absence…
maybe I have to set up something?
