Did this Mini DisplayPort to HDMI setup ever work?


What brand adapter?

Not all Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters will work.


What brand/model external display?

Try setting it to receive an HDMI signal for a computer.


Does the external display also have DVI or VGA?

If so, then test a Mini DisplayPort to either DVI or VGA adapter.
