CQ60-207EL, how to see BIOS external monitor?

Hello

I have an old laptop CQ60-207EL that has a broken screen, then I connected to an external monitor, and when the operating system is loaded, everything works fine.  However, I want to install Windows 7 from USB and I need to get into the BIOS to change the boot order (hard drive is now first). If I press F10 when tha laptop is turned on, I can see that the boot process stops, so I think it penetrates into the BIOS, but I do not see in the external monitor. I tried fn + F4, but nothing happens. The external monitor is defined as primary, but it only works when the operating system starts.

Any idea on how to display the BIOS on the external screen?

Thank you!

  • Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

    Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

    I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

    More precisely:
    # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
    # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
    # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
    # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
    # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
    # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
    What can be automatically?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Hello

    There is no way to connect an external cable monitor such that HDMI port is entered only.

    Your only solution would be to use the wireless display option in the settings, but you would need a monitor/TV/adapter that would work as a Miracast receiver.  I'm not sure specific screens that function as receptors, but I used adapters are the PTV3000 Netgear and Actiontec SBWD100A01,.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to get an external monitor like main screen...

    Hello...

    The monitor on my HP Pavilion dv9830us PC laptop has not worked for some time and I had to use an external CRT monitor for my screen. A few nights ago my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 10.04) failed to load and because I can not get flow to my external monitor until the video drivers on video Ubuntu loads, I am unable to run the repair of Ubuntu and the beginning of the start feature.

    Is it possible that I can get my laptop to use my external monitor at all times, even in the BIOS screen? Is there a setting in the BIOS for this?

    Thank you!

    Hi all...

    Nevermind, problem solved... Praise be to God!

    He made the screen on my laptop work long enough where I could press the needed button to get Ubuntu running and upward. This is literally the first time I saw him work in more than a year, no matter what I tried... seriously!

    Whatever your beliefs, (whose son is Jesus Christ) there is a God and he wonders!

    Thank you again...

  • Inspiron 7720 SE 17 ": how to connect two external monitor?

    Is possible to connect this laptop external monitor 7720 to two (don't mind if computer screen is disabled or duplicate).

    I have two samsung 21 '' monitor (HD).

    If so, how?

    Hi, I would like to participate.

    I wonder if one of you can confirm that it is impossible to use this inspiron 7720 in a configuration triple monitor (no duplication but only stretching from the screen)? I wonder because it is usually possible with maps of optimus and win7/8 but not this time - could only manage to run 2 of the three.

    And to answer riscy00: Why use a splitter? Simply use HDMI and vga, and turn off the screen of the laptop. I did it today.

  • WT8-B-102 - how to connect the external monitor

    Hello

    I have a toshiba WT8-B-102 Tablet and I need to connect an external monitor (vga or hdmi).
    My tablet doesn't have an hdmi port.

    Any solution?

    Best regards
    Francisco

    Hello

    WT8-B-102 does not therefore support other output micro HDMI port the connection to an external monitor or TV isn t possible.

    But as far as I know the Tablet supports the wireless display technology (Miracast / Intel WiDi) and if the TV supports the same technology, you should be able to output the internal display on TV s screen too.

  • How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

    Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop using a VGA or HDMI cable, and then press Fn + F4.

    If you press twice: she will display on both

    You can also adjust the settings by going to display settings. Here are some links to the steps:

    It has a HDMI port on my laptop and I would use it to connect to a monitor...
