Hi,

My MBP mid 2010 has stopped sending signal to my monitor via a miniDP-DP cable. I can still connect to the HDMI port using an adapter, but can't use full res.

It is still detecting the monitor is connected, as when plugged and unplugged the screen flashes blue, but no picture comes up and the "arrangement" tab doesn't appear on the prefpane.

Is it possible that my miniDP has stopped sending DP signal, or is it more likely that the displayport on the monitor or the cable is effed?

I ask because I think while the latter two sound more likely, I think it's unlikely I've physically broken either of them.

Cheers
