If the IBM laptop you use has a VGA port you just connect your monitor cable directly to the port. Then turn on the laptop and it should install the drivers needed to use the external monitor automatically. If you laptop does not have a VGA port then you will need a "Laptop replica port" to add the VGA port so you can connect the monitor.

Why does your IBM r51 screen not turn on?

If your IBM R51 screen does not turn on, it could be due to several reasons. First, check that the laptop is powered on and that the battery and power adapter are functioning properly. If the screen remains blank, it may be a hardware issue, such as a faulty display, loose connections, or a malfunctioning graphics card. Additionally, try connecting an external monitor to see if the issue lies with the laptop's screen itself.

How do you get a widescreen LCD monitor to work with an IBM ThinkPad?

If your laptop is quite old then you need the driver for the LCD to be installed onto your laptop so that the laptop can communicate with the LCD monitor. If you laptop is a later model then there shouldn't be a problem coz the drive would already be in the windows application. Or, if you have evrything connected when your laptop was on then you must restart your laptop so the laptop can reset and pick up the signal from the LCD. Assume you have the correct monitor cable (15 pins) then in the help and support window type in 'add hardware' then select 'using add hardware' and follow the instructions there.

After you disconnect your external monitor and keyboard from your IBM R50e laptop - why do some of the letters come out as numbers?

The external display has nothing to do with it :). You have numlock turned on, turn it off by either pressing function (fn) + numlock or just the numlock key, it depends on try way your computers configured. Usually if your function key is the same colour as the numlock text, you need to do the first key sequence, if not, just try the other :)
