External screen not recognized anymore
Hello,
My MBP 15” Mid 2010 with NVIDIA GT330M doesn’t recognize anymore my U2713hm screen plugged by displayport. (clamshell mode)
If I connect it with a displayport cable it either doesn’t recognize it and in the console it reports: WindowServer (Core Display)
[ERROR] - Unknown CGXDisplayDevice: 0x41dc9d00
Or now when it works randomly it’s detected as a generic screen and only outputs 1080p instead of the 2560px resolution.
Connected with displayport to DVI it doesn’t work too, it only works in hdmi limited to 1080p (screen’s HDMI limit)
I tried the following:
new cables, 2 different displayport cables
DDC/CI mode disabled on the screen
Factory reset of the screen
a couple of PRAM and SMC reset
10.13.6 clean install
removal of com.apple.windowserver.plist
Nothing works.
When this started I replaced the capacitor that is known to fail on this Mac but it didn’t change anything.
The motherboard was replaced by Apple, it looks like it was a refurbished one and the capacitor I replaced looked like it was already replaced as there was green paint dots added on it, the new one is the one advised on forums.
Also the computer had the thermal paste replaced.
There is no kernel panics, no visible problems, only the external screen not recognized.
Is there anything I could do to fix this?
Thank you.
Is dit een goede vraag?
What is your macOS release and did you apply an update or alter your apps?
