Hey Guys,

I have a 2018 mac book pro. I'm new to the mac world so still getting used to it, but so far, I'm pretty happy with it. I have two displays that I have managed to get working -- one through and HDMI port, the other through a Display Port. When the lid is open I have a third screen, but my goal is to close the lid and keep the external display active. I know it has to be plugged in for the machine to not go into sleep mode -- so that part is taken care of, but when I close the lid, only one of the monitors remains active.

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep them BOTH on when the lid is shut?
 
Never mind. I'm a boner. One of the cables must have come unplugged by accident when I was putting the laptop back into the cradle lol.

So embarrassing. Definitely deserving of any teasing that may follow :)
