What was your setup? Mine, Snow, about 2010, a real MB, lovely white 
plastic with white keyboard (not the depressing black ones), worked 
fine with a big monitor connected via DVI, using an Apple converter 
plugged in the small squarish monitor hole on side. The independently 
mains powered monitor was plugged in and on before I fired up the MB. 
And, relevant of course, the MB has been set up for years to use the 
big monitor as the main screen with menus there etc. Many relevant 
factors I guess. Your setup would have been different?
