    Unplugging External Monitor

    My mbp did not turn on only after some 5 attempts after I unplugged the usb-c monitor cable while the computer was still running. Could this have been the cause? If yes, what is the proper way of doing it? Should I shut down the computer before unplugging the external monitor? Thanks in advance!
