Black screen external monitor

Hi!


I have a MacBook late 2009. I wanted to connect this MacBook to an Asus VN248HA monitor via a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and then a HDMI cable. My MacBook detects the external monitor, but the monitor stays black. Can anyone help me?

Good day beattact,


Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.


It looks like you're connecting your MacBook to an Asus monitor, but there's no video on the display.


Start with the troubleshooting tips in the "Check connections" and "Reset the system" sections of Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays. These steps can help isolate and resolve a situation like this.


All the best.
