Apple: New (Mid 2007) MacBooks may exhibit external display quirks

by CNET staff

[Published Wednesday, May 16th]

Apple has posted a new Knowledge Base article (#305507) detailing a potential external display quirk with the newly introduced Mid 2007 MacBooks.

If the systems are connected to an external display in extended mode (rather than mirrored), the menubar location is on the external display, and the systems are woken from sleep by opening the clamshell, video may not be displayed on the built-in display.

Apple's listed solution is to follow these steps:

  1. Press F7 on the MacBook keyboard to temporarily restore video on the internal display.
  2. Save any unsaved data and restart the computer.
