Hey WinsC1,


Disconnecting the Cables worked on the monitors! I cleaned and restrung all cables on the Mini and it's working fine now, also when I shut off the Mini and did the restringing and rebooted the network now connects, I swear the office I work in is super clean so I'm still a bit hesitant about why this happened? Thank you for your time!

Hey HeartStreaming,


Regarding the display issue, we'd recommend reviewing this article as it provides steps to take to help resolve issues with external monitors: If your external display isn't detected or appears blurry when connected to your Mac


"If your display is blank or not detected

Try these steps if you don't see an image on your display.

Check your cable or adapter

Disconnect the cable from your external display from your Mac, then reconnect it. If the cable from your external display doesn't connect to the ports on your Mac, you can use a USB-C or Thunderbolt adapter. If you're using a USB-C or Thunderbolt adapter to connect a display, the adapter must be compliant with DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt / USB 4.

Check how many displays you can connect

If you're connecting multiple displays to your Mac, use the Tech Specs page to find out how many external displays your Mac supports.

  1. Choose Apple menu  > About This Mac, double-click your serial number, then press Command-C to copy it.
  2. Go to the Tech Specs page, click the Search Tech Specs bar, press Command-V to enter your computer's serial number, then click Search.
  3. Click the specs page for your Mac. The number of displays your Mac supports appears under Video Support or Graphics."


Regarding the issue connecting to other Macs, we'd recommend providing some additional information about that.


How are you attempting to connect to your Macs?


What steps do you take to do so? What happens when you try?


Thanks!
