Question

Dear members,

i have a mid 2010 13" macbook pro which i have been using a mini display port to HDMI cable which also carries audio for for years now.

I went to use it last night and have to pull the cable out and plug it in a few times to get it to work.

Tonight it just wont work at all no matter how many times i pull the cable out and plug it in again!

Before i use to just connect it and boom, screen would go off then on and it would also mirror on to my TV.

My TV is a 32" Toshiba TV, i tested the HDMI ports, working fine. The mini display port to HDMI cable works fine on my 42" TV downstairs.

Any one know of a fix for this?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
