I just purchased a Mac Mini and decided to use my existing (and well loved) Apple display monitor. I read up on what I needed to make this happen. Purchased a used DVI to ADV adapter. The plan was to put the adapter on a switchable power strip and power down the adapter when not in use. The adapter doesn't seem to like that. I have to restart the Mac Mini a couple times in order for the monitor to boot up.
My question is ... Does the power need to remain ON constantly on the DVI to ADV adapter in order for the monitor to fire up the first time? OR am I having issues with the used adapter?
I appreciate the info and suggestions!
Mike
