MacBook Air mid-2013 OSX 10.9.1 cannot connect to DVI Monitor
Does anyone else have this problem? I've seen similar issues raised, but so far can't find a solution to my particular issue:
MacBook Air Mid 2013 (ordered Jan 2014)
- 1.3GHz Intel Core i5
- 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
- OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.
When I connect my MacBook Air to any monitor (well, I've tried three monitors: Benq, NEC and Samsung) the monitor will not detect an attached computer. The MacBook also does not think it's connected to an external display.
If I connect via VGA cable, it works fine most of the time*, so the display port seems to work only for VGA and not DVI.
I am using mini display port adapters (DVI and VGA) purchased from the Apple Store.
The adapter for the mini display to DVI works fine, since I can get my 2009 MacBook unibody to connect to an external display via DVI without issue. So it's not the adapter, or the DVI cable.
I have tried resetting the System Management Controller for my MacBook air but it does not work. No matter how many times I reset the computer (Hard reset, Soft power down, SMC reset) I cannot get it to connect via DVI.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or seen a resolution for it?
*The only other symptom I get periodically, is that after being disconnected from a VGA monitor, the computer will periodically (about 2/5 times) not connect to the VGA monitor either without a reboot. However it will connect most of the time, and ALL of the time after a reboot.
Thank you
