I have MacBook Pro late 2011. When I am at home, I use it with my external monitor, when I connect external monitor for the first time (after reboot), everything works fine, but when I disconnect the external monitor and reconnect it again, the external monitor starts flickering and external monitor screen starts turning on and off. The MacBook's default screen works fine. If I reboot macbook and then connect monitor, everything works fine until I disconnect and reconnect it again, then it starts doing that weird things again.
I don't want to reboot my MacBook after every time I disconnect external monitor… I am thinking, maybe I am not disconnecting the external display right. I just disconnect the cable. Should i be doing it another way?
Does someone have some experiences with that? Could someone suggest me any solution?

I have a similar problem, a lot of people recommended resetting the smc. and it seemed to work for a lot but not me. You should try it anyway, can't hurt. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
