Does anyone no of a solution to a "black screen" disease? I connected my 17PB to Nokia 21" 445x - The monitor seems to "wake up" (green status light and all) but black screen remained... also tried to look for any "add-on" I should put on the OSX - but nothing.. Ideas????

for me the monitor trick is to put the machine to sleep, then connect the monitor en then switch it on and have your PB come back from sleep. make sure you open the display settings. you're probably running on an unsupported resolution...

Got that! Thanks - but the display settings are opened in each screen don't they? so if I cant see the 2nd screen I cant see the setting window either...
