I landed in San Francisco at around 10pm, hit the hotel in Santa Clara by 11.30pm, crashed, and woke up to give my tutorial at 9am. By 8.45am, I couldn’t get my 12″ MacBook to display out via HDMI or VGA to the projector, so I ran back to the room to get my 15″ rMBP instead.<\/p>\n
Later on, I ran the Apple Hardware Test<\/a>. Or what it’s called now, Apple Diagnostics<\/a>. Everything came back just fine, which seemed odd.<\/p>\n The best fix seemed to then be resetting the NVRAM<\/a>. That didn’t improve things, so I had to reset the System Management Controller (SMC)<\/a>, and voila! everything seemed to work thereafter.<\/p>\n In the years of using Apple hardware, I have to think this is the first time I’ve had to do this. I guess the presentation pro-tip here is always carry a backup presentation device (I might going forward get the relevant dongles for the iPad to run a presentation too).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I landed in San Francisco at around 10pm, hit the hotel in Santa Clara by 11.30pm, crashed, and woke up to give my tutorial at 9am.
