Hey all, I just need help on a problem I just picked up. I have a Macbook Pro 13' and a separate Dell monitor.They are connected with a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adapter. Usually once I get off my computer, I close my Macbook and shut off the second moniter with the on/off button. Now usually when I want to go on my computer, I would press the on/off button on the external screen then open my macbook and then all would be fine. Well yesterday when I got home, I pressed the on/off button, opened my macbook and I recognized that on the external monitor, the backlight on the screen is on, but the desktop wallpaper on it was not on. I tried moving the mouse to that side of the screen and it went over, but nothing was popping up on the screen. So I came to realize that there were two things that could possibly be broken, the monitor or the adapter. After an hour or so messing with the wires, the wallpaper for the external monitor went back on. The only problem now was that I needed to unplug them again because I needed to move it. Once I did, I could not get the monitor to get back on. So what do you think, the adapter has a shortage or the second monitor is just broken.
Thanks!
Thanks!
