[QUOTE="MilwaukeeLax25, post: 1102289, member: 170087"] ok so i have a old macbook from late 2006 to early 2007. i had droped the computer on my floor hence ruining the screen. it would have cost too much to fix the screen, so i bout a mini dvi to vga and the a vga-vga cord. i had not charged or used the broken macbook in almost a year and a half and it took it a while to boot up. anyway when i plugged the macbook into my hdtv it seemed to work. it showed my background and would allow me to right click and even make a new folder. however i could not see my front row, my desktop items or the bar on top of the screen. all of a sudden everything i had done with the mouse happened at once. all my hot corners options happened within seconds, then it asked me what resolution i wanted. well i chose one hoping it would allow me to see all of my desktop however, now my hdtv turns off when i boot my broken computer up and when my tv does stay on it says mode not soupported. Please help!! [/QUOTE]
