hey guys, i've had on going issue connecting external displays unibody macbook (late 2008). started when accidentally turned on macbook in clamshell mode (moved bluetooth mouse , turned on), went crazy, restarted, froze, etc. , no longer connected macbook external monitor (mini displayport hdmi). started using old mini displayport , usb hdmi converter , worked while until once again stopped working. got new cable , wont connect now.
when plug in mini displayport hdmi cable macbook screen flashes if monitor has connected nothing happens. cant drag mouse over, not show monitor under detected displays, nothing. yes, external monitor set right input (lol).
when try turn on macbook external monitor plugged in, macbook doesnt turn on, freezes on boot up. never used happen before. (graphics card error?)
