Can you use an external monitor with a broken laptop screen?
ColbyReeseGericoHild...
Almost all laptops have a VGA port for an external screen. Normally, the port has to be enabled by pressing the function key with F4, F5 or F7. There will normally be a small icon of a screen on the relevant key but refer to the manual to be sure.
Virtually any VGA screen should work with any laptop.

How can you get info off a laptop when the screen is out?
Either via remote desktop connection or by attaching a external monitor. If your laptop screen does not show anything - not even a manufacturers/Microsoft logo during start, it is likely your screen is broken. If your laptop-screen shows a very faint picture, it is likely the back light of your laptop screen is broken / disconnected. If however, everything is normal, up to when you would normally see your lo gin screen, but then your screen goes black, it is likely to be a setting on your computer, which you yourself can fix. Please refer to the related link black screen. If you get a new laptop and bring your old laptop to the store you can get the info transferred from the old one to the new one you can also do this with cell phones. Ken Eddy

How do you connect laptop to a monitor laptop screen is broke?
Plug the monitor into the laptop. Easy as plugging in a lamp. Let's hope the port isn't damaged, too. However, some laptops will not begin using an external display unless you set it to from the advanced display properties (in Windows), in which case the laptop's monitor needs to be at least somewhat usable in order to use the second one. Answer I would suggest to replace the whole LCD screen. I bought the LCD from ScreenCountry and completed the rebuild, booted the machine up, and everything worked absolutely perfectly. That's a better solution than connecting a bulky external monitory into a portable device.
Why does notebook screen change colors to mostly green?
Could be bad LCD screen, defective video cable or bad motherboard. First, test the laptop with external monitor. If video on the external monitor is normal but it's bad on the laptop LCD, the problem is somewhere inside the laptop display panel (bad LCD, bad video cable, bad connection between cable/motherboard/LCD). If video on the external monitor is bad too, you have either software related problem or something is wrong with the motherboard. Try reinstalling Windows first, it might help.
