#MAC MINI REVIEW 2011 I5 UPDATE#

I'm convinced it's an HDMI handshake issue and it only happens when I connect to a receiver and then to a screen - both via HDMI and also Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. There were lots of posts in 2011 & 2012 on the subject (I've read a LOT of them) but they all seem to dry up by the end of 2012 so I get the feeling there was a fix for the issue but I can't seem to find it. I have also tried booting with Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite and none made a difference. I've also already tried multiple SMC as well as PRAM resets which haven't worked.

I definitely have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini and I have installed the EFI 1.6 update to no effect.

PS: Do the web page URLs in your post have significance?.

Correct identification helps in such matters.
