VGA display to MacBook Pro Not Working

I have a lighting port to VGA adapter, with a VGA monitor connected. My screen on my MacBook goes blue for a second, but doesn't show anything on the monitor but "check video cable, no signal". Any suggestions?

Hey jtrain907,


You'll want to go through the following document:


Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573#1


It can help to troubleshoot your Apple computer if it is having issues with video on external displays. I'd concentrate on the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering."


Regards,

Delgadoh
