MacBook – HDMI output problem with late-2013 13 inch macbook pro with retina

displayhdmimacbook pro

I just bought late-2013 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina.
I want to connect it to my Samsung 32'' TV at home and DELL u2412m monitor at work. None of these connection is working right now.

MacOS X 10.9 display preferences tells me that a display is connected, and enlarge the screen to it, but no picture on the display is showing. I also try to mirror my screen to external hdmi-connected display with the same lack of "result": no picture.

Can one help me?

Update: Logs while connecting external tv:

Update 2: just booted into ubuntu 13.10 (from usb stick) – the same problem as on mac – ubuntu display preferences tells me that a display is connected, buy no picture on the display is showing.

Looks like a hardware problem on my mac (or, a little change, efi one)…

Update 3: I forgot to update this later back. So. This was a hardware problem and Apple replace my macbook with new one (may be because it was less than 2 weeks in use and the problem was there since the begining).

I had similar one on MBP Early-2013 (15 Inch Retina) with HDMI port. Running Yosemite. But today I've updated CUDA drivers for GT650M and suddenly HDMI ports started working just like it used to have before. Try it. It may help you as well.
