[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1001497, member: 92466"] Once your MB is on and connected to the TV, turn the TV on. Then you can set it up for mirroring or just drag your various windows over to the TV so they are on there. Then what you'll do is close the MB lid. Wait about 10 seconds, use a mouse (wire or wireless doesn't matter) to "wake up" the MB. Just move the mouse around and the display will wake up and show up on your television. Easy as pie. One warning, I've noticed my MBP kind of freaks out if you don't reverse the steps in a precise order. When done, I open the MBP lid, turn off the TV, let the MBP display show up, and then disconnect the cables. Don't know why, but it doesn't seem to like it when I do it any other way. [/QUOTE]
