My screen isn't working, how can I connect to an external monitor?

macos macbook-pro display

My MacBook Air 2015's screen isn't working so I can't see anything I'm doing. Is there a way to connect it to an external monitor?

EDIT: The issue has been solved. I tried plugging it into a different monitor and must've done something differently because this time, it just showed up. After a little bit of trial and error, I got the screen to mirror and now it works perfectly with my normal one.


Yes, you can plug an external monitor into the Mini DisplayPort port (the Thunderbolt 2 port) on the MacBook Air. You'll need a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable, if your monitor supports DisplayPort.

For other monitors, you'll need an adapter, such as a Mini DisplayPort to DVI, VGA or HDMI adapter.
