As both the internal and external screen have a similar fault, it is likely that the problem lies within the display chipset. That may mean replacing one or more ICs but it could demand that the main circuit board is replaced. The first step is to get the fault properly diagnosed. A reputable repair shop will be able to offer advice on the best route to take once the fault is understood.

If no image appears on laptop what is the problem?
1.Check your AC adapter. Your battery may be dead and your AC adapter may have come loose at one of two points. Make sure the adapter is properly and snugly plugged into the back of your laptop. Check the wall socket or surge protector where your adapter is plugged in. Make sure this connection is secure, and consider trying another wall socket in case the current socket is blown. 2. Consider your laptop battery. Your laptop LCD screen may be dark because the battery has deteriorated and can no longer hold a charge. Average laptop batteries last for 1,000 charges, after which point they start to go bad. Check the battery indicator light on your laptop (usually on the side or bottom) to see if the machine is receiving any power. If not, the battery needs to be replaced.3. Check your monitor brightness settings. This may explain why your laptop LCD screen is dark or unresponsive. At times, the monitor brightness settings have been accidentally turned all the way down, resulting in a dark screen. You can turn these settings back up via the brightness keys above the numeric keys on most laptops. 4. Check the LCD closed switch on your laptop. This switch acts as a sensor that is located right by the monitor hinges. Sometimes this switch gets stuck in the "closed" position, resulting in a dark screen even when the laptop is opened. Tap this switch a few times to jolt it back into the open position. The back-light on your screen should come back on. 5. Hook your laptop up to an external monitor as a test. This test will allow you to determine whether the fault lies with your display itself or with the motherboard. Find an external monitor and use a VGA cable to make the connection between the laptop and this monitor. Power on both the laptop and the external monitor and see if an image appears on the external monitor. If no image appears, your motherboard likely needs to be replaced, which is an expensive proposition. If the external monitor does display your laptop's desktop/information, however, the fault lies with the LCD screen itself and this needs to be replaced.

How do I do this I need to pull my files programs pictures ect from my old laptop to my new laptop my problem is that my original laptop the screen has been cracked and I can't see the screen?
Option 1: There should be a monitor port on the back of the laptop. It's a blue plug. Take a monitor from a desktop computer and plug it into the blue port on the laptop. Then turn your laptop on. You will be able to see your laptop screen on the desktop monitor. Then save your files to a CD or flash drive. Option 2: If you don't have a blue monitor port on the laptop you will need to pull the hard drive out of the laptop and buy a hard drive 2.5" (Either SATA or IDE) to USB adapter then you can plug the hard drive into another computer and read the files, copy them, etc.. This option should be carried out by a technically savy person or computer tech.
Is it possible to watch films from a laptop on a tv using a USB to HDMI cable?
Your laptop should either have an HDMI port or a VGA port for using an external monitor. Once established which port your laptop has you will need either an HDMI to HDMI or VGA to HDMI cable to connect to your TV. The picture quality should not be affected by either as you will be using the laptop's inbuilt graphics and all you are doing is changing the visual display from screen to TV, which should be simply done by pressing the correct function key for external display once your cable is connected.
Your laptop screen doesnt work what should you do?
There are some likely causes: The screen illumination may have failed. If you can see a very faint image on the screen, that is the likely problem. It may be the video driver chips that have failed. Try to connect an external monitor to the VGA port. You will need to enable the external port using one of the function keys (take a look in your manual to confirm how to do this). If the external screen doesn't work, it is possible that the driver chips have failed. There are many companies that can assist with diagnosis and parts to help with a repair.
Our laptop screen is broken but everything else works fine We want to put our old files on our new laptop Not much just a few pictures and word files How can I see what's on the old computer?
You can hook up an external monitor to it. Most notebooks have a VGA port. If the laptop is on, you will need to use a key sequence, usually FN+F5 or FN+F4 or FN+F7. There should be a symbol that looks kind of like a monitor on one of the F keys. That is the one you should press along with the FN key. Most of the time if you connect the monitor to it while it is off and then turn it on the monitor will automatically come on. You could consider replacing the screen. The price is usually under $100.
