I have a MacBook Pro 2015 with a broken screen (most of it is black and not visible).
Before I had it set up where I would just turn it on, connect my HDMI cable to TV or Monitor and it would show up on the second monitor and I would enter my username and password and log in.
I made the huge mistake of turning FileVault on and, when I saw it was taking hours I turned the computer off to resume next morning. In the morning I came to connect the HDMI cable to the TV and nothing – it says signal not detected and I cannot see the login screen on the second monitor or type in my password or user name to get into the laptop.
I've tried blind typing and nothing happens either. I also tried a remote keyboard and a USB connected one.
What can I do to get my laptop to display on the second screen so I can log in?
