[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1922879, member: 56379"] If memory serves me correctly...no. Even without a hard drive with a macOS installed on it...I'm pretty sure the external display should still illuminate. I say this because this is the way I remember it...and...when the computer cannot find a hard drive with the macOS on it...the monitor will display a folder with a blinking question-mark on it...to signify no macOS could be found to boot from. Thus the display connected via and ADC port would have to be illuminated to display this "no macOS could be found" Folder. [U]Looks like this:[/U] [ATTACH type="full"]37342[/ATTACH] Nick [/QUOTE]
