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.

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.

∙ 11y agoMost laptops will have an external monitor port - A 15-pin socket shaped like a trapezoid. There will usually be a tiny picture of a monitor next to it. You simply need an appropriate lead to plug into that socket - with the correct connector at the other end for your external monitor.
Laptops are usually configured to transfer the image from the internal screen to the external monitor once it's detected. If not - Pressing the Fn key and F5 together will toggle the display.

How do you use laptop as a monitor for my PC my monitor broke n i don't have any other what do i do?
You can use remote control software so you can see what's going on on the PC. To do that you have to first set up your PC witch requires a monitor. Maybe you can borrow one to set it up. There are several free applications that do this. Go to the following pages to find out more: 1. www.logmein.com 2. www.teamviewer.com
You got a laptop from school and you broke the screen where can you get it replaced cheap?
It is possible to obtain replacement screens from a variety of suppliers on the Internet. You will need to have the full details of the laptop (model, serial number, service tags etc). Expect to pay $90 - $150 for most screens. Replacing the screen should take an hour or two but if you don't have the tools or experience to strip the screen assembly, it will be better to take the computer to a reputable repair company.

How do you fix your HP laptop monitor that flickers?
AnswerI dropped my HP laptop and broke the factory screen. I plugged the computer in to an external monitor and it checked good functionally. I ordered and replaced the LCD screen only to be annoyed by an intermittent flicker of the new screen. It took a while to figure it out but I solved the problem. I have the HP G71-340US Notebook (17" screen). Once dissassembled the screen has a rail assembly on both the right and left side that it mounts to. There are 4 screw holes on each rail but the computer only comes with 2 screws on each rail mounting to the screen. My mistake was that I installed the top 2 screws in the top holes and the bottom 2 screws in the holes DIRECTLY ABOVE the bottom holes. There is a wiring strip that runs along the bottom of the screen and if it touches the housing it will cause interference/flicker. All I did was remove the two bottom screws and install them in the very BOTTOM holes to lift the screen off of the screen housing. No more flicker! Makes me wonder if maybe some of the laptops off of the shelves might need to be checked. A lot of issues about HP and flickering screens on google. Hope this helps.
