Hello, I have an issue with my Samsung LCD TV model #LN-S3241D and my late 08 MBP.
I ordered the minidisplayport -> hdmi from monoprice, got it in the mail, plugged an hdmi into the hdmi 2 slot (cable is in 1) and put the other end into the converter and plugged it into the MBP. I proceeded to watch netflix the rest of the evening on my tv... it was perfect.
When it came time to shut down for the evening, I turned everything off. The next night, I came home to continue watching an episode I was watching on netflix and I turned everything on and my MBP would not detect the tv. I would click 'detect displays' but nothing, nada.
I proceeded to screw around with it for about 1.5 hours and did some searching but most of the errors I saw involved the tv, not the MBP detecting the tv. I started unplugging stuff and plugging it back in and finally got it to work again when I unplugged the cable from hdmi 1 and plugged the connection from the MBP into hdmi 1. It worked for the rest of the evening.
Night 3, I come back and again it doesn't detect (I left it all plugged in this time). I immediately tried switching to hdmi 2 and got nothing. Back to 1 and nothing. Plugged cable into 1 and could see the cable, switched out connections again and nothing. At this point I cannot detect the tv in the MBP. Obviously all my hardware is ok, there's just something weird going on here.
Any help for me?
Thanks, sorry for the long post.
