My MBPro's screen died. I want to use an external monitor. How do I tell the computer to recognize the monitor when the screen is black . . . thus no cursor. Or am I in to a new screen?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID
I use an iMac with a bad display. I just plugged an external into the computer and it used it, though it is a bit finicky since it still thinks there's another display but if I switch it to mirroring then it uses the wrong ratio. I have to use a utility called DisableMonitor to avoid my mouse from accidentally positioning itself onto the dead display area.
Try to press Command + F1. That should switch to external monitor.
What year is your Mac from, and what's the screen size of it? (13, 15, 17 inch)
You are a hero! Thanks
I have a 15" screen.
MacBook Pro screen died. Go to external Monitor.
