Problems connecting the MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 to a monitor
Hello,
I must say that I am not a Mac expert,
My problem, which seems absurd to me, is to connect a simple monitor to the MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 via the Thunderbolt 1 port, I know it may seem trivial but I’m going crazy.
After doing some research I tried these cables that were said to be suitable for the purpose:
and finally I also tried an adapter like this, (suggested by GPT chat, I know but I was desperate):
but nothing works, the monitor ports are an Acer Nitro VG271UM3 has 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and a Display Port 1.2, and they all work.
Now I still haven’t understood if the Thunderbolt 1 port also works with the mini-DP cables since I read that it is based on the same technology (forgive the term), others say that those of the min-dp are not compatible, I’m not understanding anything anymore.
But I wonder how did you connect a monitor to the MacBook Pro in 2011?
Another thing I thought is that if the cables are right it’s the Thunderbolt port that’s broken, is there a way to check it?
Thanks for any answers
