I broke the screen on my presario cq60-218em, external display an option?

Hello

I have a Presario CQ60-218EM and I broke the screen! It will not display anything even if the laptop turns on again.

Can I attach an external display (from my office) and view what should be on the screen to verify that everything works OK before I get the screen fixed?

If possible how do I know my Presario to send the output to the external screen? It will work to display the BIOS also?

Thank you

Justin

Yes you can connect an external monitor that is hard. Normally, you have to hold the function (fn) key and press the f key on the top of the keyboard that has a small picture of a screen on it - I think that its f4 on your keyboard. Once everything looks OK... your safe to buy a new laptop screen... or have professionally installed.

  • Broke the screen on Satellite Pro P100 - 1 1/2 "vertical white line

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro P100 which is only 21 months old and have recently acquired a white strip to the bottom of my screen which is located near Center. I looked into the possible solutions for this and followed the instructions carefully to see if it was a software problem which he seems not to be. The only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced. I would like to know if there are many of you who have had this same problem because I'm disgusted that I need to get this replaced so early in his life.

    I don't even use my phone as a laptop (IE it transport etc.) it is simply sitting on my desk at home. I just checked my warranty and apparently it was submitted only for 12 months! Just my luck!

    If anyone has any suggestions on how to best to argue my case with Toshiba in get this replaced for free then the answers are welcome.

    See you soon,.

    > Only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced

    Either it's a display or the fault of the graphics card!
    You can try to connect the external monitor to test if the same would appear on the second monitor.
    If the question seems not on the external monitor then it s not a graphics card issue but possible display of the laptop problem.
    In this case, the authorized service provider should be able to provide more details and how to fix it.

    Good luck

  • Satellite 210CS - the screen stays black (even to an external monitor)

    Dear Toshiba Forum members and guests.

    Several months ago, I found an old laptop. When I turn it on, the screen remains black. And when I connect an external monitor to the laptop via the VGA input, two screens are black. I used a flashlight, pulled on the LCD screen of the laptop, but I don't see all the details on the screen.

    I thought it was because of the empty RAM slots. This week, I bought a RAM-unit and installed.
    I tried to start the laptop again, but nothing on the two screens (even though I used a flashlight).
    I searched the Internet for certain solutions, but nothing works. I also tried updating the BIOS, found on the Web from Toshiba site.

    Some information on the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite 210CS/1.3
    PA1230E
    48 MB RAM
    1.3 GB HARD DRIVE

    Date of manufacture: 4 ^ th ^ October 1997

    If you want more information or you would like more information, please put a comment in this thread.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I don't think that someone will be able to tell what part exactly failures because it could be any inner part.
    You buy the RAMs again. Well, in this case, we can exclude RAM problem, but there is probably a motherboard, CPU or a graphics card problem.

    From my point of view of the few you don't have many options: perhaps you could found some other good treatments Satellite 210CS somewhere in the internet since it is not very easy to get parts for this oldie

  • Submenus are moving to the top of the screen in IE8? All other browsers display correctly

    First of all, I am new to the design of websites and Dreamweaver, but a quick learner. So - please assume that I know very little.

    I use a mac and created a horizontal nav bar using the widget spry (DMCS3; Spry 1.6.1). Everything is ok, except for the submenus in my navigation bar. I confirmed it seems correct (for PC) in Chrome and Firefox and (for mac), Safari and Firefox. But in Internet Explorer 8, the submenus are moving all the way to the top of the screen. The only way I could solve this problem, is that if I type 132 px for the 'top', 'margin' in the category 'box' in my ul. MenuBarHorizontal of ul rule. However, by doing this it makes all other browsers display incorrectly (the submenu is down to the bottom of the page).

    I've seen where people have been to "conditional comments" in their CSS file, for IE... and if what I have to do, that what I write and where I need to put in order all IE8 users to conform to the margin of the top 132 px, while other users are in line with the original upper margin of 2 px.

    Finally, a few people have noted that the submenu buttons "stick" (loading/disappear slowly) as they scroll buttons, is there a way for me to fix this?

    Here is the link to the site, and my CSS file is attached - thank you in advance:

    P.S. Attaches would be great, but Im also interested to know why IE same did it than its weight?
