[QUOTE="Raecyst, post: 1171990, member: 187818"] So recently I purchased a third party Mini Displayport to HDMI cable from eBay. It worked on two separate HDTVs at first, (Sony Bravia and a Samsung). However it suddenly stopped detecting after I swapped the HDMI slots on my Sony Bravia and now it won't work on anything. When I try to connect the Macbook Pro to the TV all I get is a blue flash on the Macbook Pro and the TV is unchanged. Going to Display preferences doesn't do any justice either because the TV is just not being detected. I also went to JB HiFi and purchased a Moshi MDP to HDMI cable just to check if it was because of the first cable, but it still doesn't work. So I got my refund. The HDMI cable works perfectly as I use it with my Xbox 360. I've tried so many things and searched everywhere on the internet but to no success, hence registering to this site. Hardware Overview: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03 [/QUOTE]
