Cracked screen trying to connect to monitor

Hi Melissa,

perhaps your monitor has packed up, try connecting it to a TV see if the problem persists

Hope this works!

The monitor maybe faulty, try the monitor on another computer/laptop, then if it still flashes then then monitor is faulty.

You can switch to an external monitor or data projector by two methods. 1. Connect the external monitor to the laptop's video port, power up the external monitor first and the laptop. The video information will automatically switch to the external monitor. 2. If you power up the laptop first then you can switch the video output to the external monitor by pressing the Fn key and one of the Function keys, depending upon your make and model laptop. You can also toggle between the external monitor or both LCD screen plus the external monitor or back to LCD screen only by pressing the Fn key plus one of the function key. Here is a list of key combinations for some of the laptops :- IBM ThinkPad = Fn + F7 HP and Compaq = Fn + F4 Toshiba = Fn + F5 Dell = Fn + F8

Try searching google for your monitors model name and "driver"

Tries go into the computer Control panel go to monitor resolution change it lower resolution like 1020 to 800 should solved ur video problems,scrambling video is tv not supporting the current resolutions.

thats the screen problem u should change the screen than it gonna be alright,

Connect a monitor to connector 2 or 3

Hold down the Fn key and press F5. This toggles between laptop screen and the external monitor.

Try connecting a mouse and keyboard to the laptop and then start it with the top closed. Not sure if this will work on your model, but it works on a lot of laptops. This should force the PC to use your external monitor as the primary one.

Try going into cmos and enabling multi display (external)
Also u can boot into safe mode and restore windows to a previous day
Next u can save your file on a flash drive then reinstall windows
Hopw this helps ... u also have an s video port
thanks
