Hey all,

My sister somehow managed to smash her 2008 macbook screen a couple of years ago, and I recently came across it in hopes of using it as a box to stream media with. I bought a mini-dvi to HDMI cord off amazon, but when I plug it in it to my TV, nothing outputs on the screen.

Is there any command I can enter on boot which may help me with this problem? I am certain her macbook works, and you can hear the chime when it turns on...the only problem is that the screen is cracked so you only see light when the screen turns on.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
