|
|
It is 4 years old, a Toshiba Sattelite. Becuase I need to computer to do grades next week, I do not have the time to shop around for an Inverter and to get it repaired. Have been thinking about getting a Flatron screen. Now my question. If I plug in an external screen, should it work? Also, are these screens Plug-n-Play?
I have a Celeron as well.
Please advise |

Look on the back of your machine. Does it have a monitor plug? (Yes, it does!) Yeah...it will work.
"Inverter". Sounds like it should be in the "video game weapon" thread.  |

| An RGB Port is the same as a monitor port? Right? |

It will have a symbol like over the port that looks like this, " l0l ". Trust me, if your laptop isn't older than 10 years old, you have a monitor plug on it.
When you plug in the monitor, your computer will automatically bipass the normal connection to your laptop screen. Piece of cake. |

Thank you for all of your help
I bought a 17 inch PC Bank TFT- LCD. PBM-1780A. It has negative ionization. Response time is 8MS, Brightness 300CD/m2
Contrast Rtaion 7:1 230.00
After having a 14 inch laptop screen this is quite nice.
I plugged it in and it want on with no problem and the laptop screen stays off.
I will order a new Inverter from e-Bay and have it installed on the laptop, or I will buy a desk-top
anyway, thanks again for the help |
