MacBook OS 10.5.8 HDMI help

My husband and I have been projecting our computer screen onto our VIZIO tv for months and then all of a sudden we tried to watch netflix and it won't work anymore. We have a macbook pro os 10.5.8 with a model identifier MacBookPro5,5. The cord we were using we called an "HDMI" cord but I am not sure if that is actually what it is. It does connect into the HDMI port of the TV and the fourth port in on the computer (not sure what that is). Anyone know why it won't work? Is it our cord? Or a setting?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), model identifier MacBookPro5,5

You'll be using a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter on the MacBook. It's possible that the HDMI cable has been damaged somehow. Alternatively, it's sometimes the case that the TV needs a 'hard' power reset (completely unplug it and then plug it back in again) due to TVs basically being always-on computers. Their brains can get a bit scrambled.
