Hi Lilweed

 

Welcome to FPCH

 

Does this laptop even attempt to boot up at all?

 

It sounds totally knackered to me.

[lilweed22]

ya it boots up well what i can work out any way all the lights come on the fans work and you can hear the window start up tune so i think it starts iv been reading up and a lot of sites say if the screen ant cracked or smashed it could be a wire or a small part but i dont realy know a lot about lap tops so not sure.

[Guest Wolfeymole]

This is a long shot but have you tried adjusting the screen brightness at all?

[lilweed22]

Hi

 

You need to press Fn + F6 or Fn + F5 to switch between screens.

 

Tell us if that works or not.

There are 'hot keys' for laptops to recognise an external monitor - it's usually - FN (Function ;)) and one of the F keys
