Periodically, when waking up, or coming back on after turning off the display, my external monitor attached to my Macbook pro will be filled with a colorful digital snow. Kind of like when a TV has no signal. Except, sometimes I can see through the snow to some details. Sometimes there's almost no snow at all, and I can use it for a couple of minutes before noticing. Other times, it completely covers the screen.
Usually, unplugging the mini display port then plugging it back in will fix the problem. But, sometimes it won't. The mini display uses an adapter to DVI. Originally I thought it was a kink in the cable or something, but fussing with the cable doesn't ever seem to have any kind of affect on the picture.
I don't think that it's the display because it's pretty much new and didn't ever seem to have these kinds of problems when it was attached to my PC before. Could it be something to do with the adapter? Maybe it's something else completely? anyone have any ideas?
