This will automatically boot your Mac to use the attached external screen

Update: I was never able to get the machine to work with an external monitor. Is there any way to get the machine to use the external display prior to logging in? I've tried closing the lid while the keyboard and monitor are attached, again with no luck. I've tried connecting an external USB keyboard (Via USB-c adapter) to see if Cmd+F1 would enable mirror mode and enable the external monitor, with no luck. The external monitor stays in powersave mode.


Powering on will run fans, and the esc key appears on the touchbar, but that's it.

The machine chimes when connected to power. I normally use it with external monitors via USB-C to HDMI adapters, but when I try it now, nothing is happening. The screen is mostly dead, showing just a few pixels along the break.īefore I take it for repair, I'd like to access some things on it. Somehow while going through airport security yesterday, something got between my screen and touchpad and cracked the screen right below the camera. I have a very recent (this year) MacBook Pro with touchbar and 4 USB-C ports (not sure the exact model, as the screen doesn't work).
