• How auto turn off the screen of the laptop when you use the external monitor?

  I don't wan turn on laptop screen and my external monitor at the same time. So is it possible to do automatic screen of my laptop to turn off as soon as I plug my external monitor to my laptop vga cable (without pressing Fn + F2 keys)?

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if it's possible, but you could try to go into display settings and set an external because it is main if possible display and then disable the laptop with Fn + F2 but idk if it will remain inactive if you portable computer power, then on again :/

  Update: how to do this, right-click on the screen area and select the screen resolution while having the connected external display then of you will find a drop down a 3rd or a 4th do not remember but inside, you'll find stuff like show desktop on the screen 1 or 2 to find out what your external display screen number is and apply it to this form then computer laptop screen should turn black as it is turned off and you will see desktop area is on external display so I hope that this has resolved your request.

  my Windows xp pro computer worked fine but after five days, when I stat my computer I could show only the bios information on the screen then the screen freezes, then I started ahead of time the computer starts at mode, but once again he the disply frozen. I couldn't start my computer. I have a lot of data in my hard drive. What can I do to start computer or recover my data?

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors, then your RAM is OK.

  If your computer is bad, you need to do a system restore. Since it seems that you can not stop, try to hold the power button until it turns off. If this does not work, unplug (if laptop, remove the battery).

  From there on, allows to do a restore:

  1. turn the computer on and start to tap F8 to get the start menu
  2. Select repair your computer
  3. Select System Restore
  4. Follow the prompts

  If the restore point is older, feel free to use the Scan for affected programs feature to make sure that no other programs are affected. Otherwise, I would make a note of it, as it will have to reinstall these programs. In addition, I was running updated Windows once your system working again, since you will most likely use a restore point set up just before an update. (no point in re-opening of a security breach)

• Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

  I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

  I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

  She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

  Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

  Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

  Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

• White laptop of Lenovo Windows 7 screen... .external monitor works

  Don't know if I should ask this here... but... I have a laptop lenovo of 64-bit WIndows 7. Suddenly two weeks, the screen went black... It was working fine until I barely touched to adjust the angle and the screen went away. At startup, I very very VERY vaguely see the Thinkpad logo then nothing. Took it to the repair shop, first of all, they thought it was a problem of backlight, but a new screen OEM does not solve the problem. Now, they say it's probably the motherboard.  New MB costs as much as the computer (it is obviously OQ). It works fine with an external monitor, tho which kind of defeated the purpose of the laptop. Want to just an opinion... is this really very likely the MB or is it something else? Thanks for any info.

  Hello

  You need check the connection between the screen and the motherboard. The connection could have been disconnected with you have changed the angle of the screen. There are tutorials on youtube on how to do it.
