firewire Macbook pro to Imac

Hi


ive recently purchased an 2011 iMac which has a fault with the thunderbolt ports (suspect on the board). I would like to connect the iMac to my MacBook Pro 2011 to enable me to use the iMac as a second display. Can this be done using FireWire or some other means?


thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Hi there,


No. It must be Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort.


Cheers,


Jack
