Choosing your monitor is more of a personal taste and budget then anything when using one as an external monitor to a laptop. Only issues you might run into if finding the correct resolution to match up to the monitor. This could require a driver update to allow higher resolutions for the monitor to take advantage of its larger size. Max resolution for your laptop is 1280x800 if equiped with the intel 4500 graphic chipset. Also from a quick lookup of your laptop it shows you have a HDMI output along with the standard VGA. Using the HDMI output with a monitor with HDMI input will give you the best picture quality plus HDMI cables are plentiful and a wide range of lengths are available..

This happens when you enabled the do nothing option for one power plan but the plan currently in use is different.

Please follow the following instructions

  1. Open Power Options by clicking the Start button 4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33.png, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Power Options.

  2. On the Select a power plan page, click Choose what closing the lid does.

  3. On the Define power buttons and turn on password protection page, next to When I close the lid, choose what you want your mobile PC to do, both for when it is running on battery and when it is plugged in.

  4. Click Save changes.
the above process will apply the same settings for all the power plan.

How do i switch to external monitor

Virtually all IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad and ThinkCenter laptops allow you to hook up an additional monitor or projector to the computer. When you add an external monitor or projector to your notebook, you can choose to view the display on the computer, on the external device, or on both the laptop and the external monitor or projector at the same time. Toggling between viewing devices is as simple as pressing a couple of keys on the keyboard.

Shut down the laptop. Plug the VGA monitor cable from the external monitor or projector into the blue VGA port on the back of the computer. Turn on the external monitor or projector first, and then the Lenovo laptop. Allow the notebook to boot into Windows normally. Press the "Fn" and "F7" keys at the same time to switch the display from the laptop to the external monitor or projector. Press the "Fn" and "F7" keys again to enable the display on both the laptop and the external display device. Press the "Fn" and "F7" keys again to display screen contents only on the laptop LCD. choose support you need http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-54305.html http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-4YQHUC.html enable tv out on thinkpad http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-58625

Lenovo 3000 n200 0769AMU press power on switch green light on after about 1 sec screen still black no HD light fan running

Welcome to Fixya

Try to drain the electrostatic charge of the motherboard that usually cause this issue. I wrote a tip on how to do the power drain. Try to plug in external monitor on the VGA port and see if you are getting display using external monitor. If you are getting display using external monitor then the problem would be the laptop LCD. If you are getting the same black screen using external monitor then the problem is already the motherboard.

Thank you for using Fixya!

I would say your laptop is fine it is a display you require.
If you browse ebay there are lots to choose from at different prices. It is a straightforward job to replace the screen.

Iam using a lenovo notebook 3000 g430

the problem could either be the port or your headphones. try to check if your headphones are working on a different computer; if they are, try hooking a set of external speakers on the audio port of your g430. if you don't hear any sound from the external speakers, then the problem is with the port itself. check if your computer is within warranty; if it is, contact lenovo technical support

Broken screen, external monitor via VGA won't

Press "Fn+F7" once, wait a few seconds, and press it again, to "cycle" through all the possibilities (LCD-only, VGA-only, both).

Try the monitor with some other computer (desktop or laptop) to see if the monitor works at all.

Restart your computer -- does the initial "splash" screen (showing CPU speed and RAM-test) show? Does the "Windows" screen (with the crawling worm) show on the external monitor?

Lenovo 3ooo c100 notebook

That is either :

Faulty LCD ribbon cable or connector slipping off.

Faulty LCD screen.

Faulty video adapter on laptop motherboard.

To find out you connect laptop to an external monitor.

If the problem persists on external monitor, then you have a faulty video chipset on motherboard.

If the picture is good on external monitor, then problem concerns LCD panel , or LCD cable on laptop.
