Hey people, hope your all doing OK.
I have an issue with my Mini DP, and its driving me mad.
Whilst running on battery, the Mini DP to HDMI works fine, and I get a lovely picture on my TV.
If I plug the mac into mains because the battery is running low, the TV gets the old fashioned style static, then goes black.
If I plug in the mini DP whilst the mac is charging, the TV doesn't even recognise there has been a connection and the screen stays black
As you may guess, this is annoying during films.
I thought the first cable I purchased was faulty (Only had tried it on mains power) so the store give me another one, and I got to keep the old one!
I got home, and plugged in the new cable, and it worked, so I thought I had a dodgy cable, Untill I plugged into the mains.
I then retested the first, thought to be broken cable, on battery power, and success!
It wasn't the cable, it was my mac.
I own a Mid 2010 macbook pro running Yosemite (Fresh install) that I am happy with, its still fast enough for me.
The battery charge cycle is at 1170, could this be anything to do with it? I was thinking maybe the battery swells when power is applied, breaking the Mini DP connection?
Any help much appreciated.
