I'm sure this can be do i just dont know what buttons to push because i cant see a screen.
Ihis is my first forum ever thanks!

Hi mate
I recommend using the key combination FN + F5
You can use this in order to switch to external monitor or TV output.
This key combination support several options:
- internal screen + external screen
- external screen only
- TV out
- etc...
You have to press FN + F5 several times in order to get the right output.

Satellite P300: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
Any ideas?

hi Keven Dickenson,
as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

my iphone screen is broken ,how can i open device from laptop ??
plase ,help me what can i do to fix this device & the VGA is not work good i think there is short in VGA ,please help me what can i do....

Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will save your data and settings.
Purchases can be transferred by choosing "transfer purchases".
After that import photos or videos to your computer.
You can use the backup again to restore the phone after it has been serviced.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I cannot sync my phone because my device is locked and the screen is broken. how can i get around this?

My screen on my iPhone 5s 16g has broken and i just received a new one in the mail. i want to sync my old phone to iTunes so i can restore my new one, but cannot sync do to the fact that my screen is broken and i am unable to unlock the phone… how can i get around this?

You don't. If you use a 3rd party to "fix it" or attempt to do it yourself, Apple will reject the return and charge you the full price of the phone as if you had not returned it at all.
It's too late. You should have been backing up before it failed.

Broken iMac Screen; How To Attach External Monitor?

I have an intel 17" iMac and the screen is broken. How can I attach and use just the external monitor as the main monitor? Thanks.

For a DVI monitor, you will need a Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI-D cable.
For a VGA monitor, you will need a Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
Then once the monitor is hooked up, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Displays and turn Mirroring Off. Then go to the Arrangement tab and drag the menu bar from the iMac display to the connected monitor.

6680: screen is broken, how to backu?

Hello,
I have a 6680 which has served me flawlessly for many years. Unfortunately it dropped on the stairs and fell about 20 meters and the screen is broken. The phone itself still works I think.
I have installed Nokia PC Suite 7.1.180.46 to recover/backup my files, contacts etc.
However PC Suite insists on installing new programs on the phone before doing anything.
No problem, but I cannot read what he is installing nor can I confirm the installation.
Anyone who know which keys to press and when? Thanks in advance,
Hans Baeyens

When you get the message..just press the Centre of the Navigation button (as if you select something from the menu...) and then wait for some time... or till you see some more pop-up on the PC such that the installation is over..

I am using IPhone 3 G ,screen is broken ,how can i get it repair ,and how much it would cost

I am using i Phone 3 g , sreen is broken ,how can i get it repair ,and how much it would cost

First things first if your iPhone cannot be recognised by your computer then you wont be able to get those photos off the iPhone.
In the event that it can be recognised you could import the photos to your PC/Mac. Follow the article below to do this:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices
Or you could do a back up on iTunes of the iPhone which would save the photos in your camera roll. The article below will guide you on how to do this:

All the best

Satellite M30X-111 screen doesn't display anything but external monitor works

My laptop screen just doesn't display anything (look like when the computer is off) but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop will be displayed on that monitor. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
I again have to plug in the external monitor, and after I tried to reboot, I keep pressing F8 but the start up mode doesn't come up, only the sound of when you keep pressing a button for too long beeps, however, the laptop monitor works again.
How do I fix this problem?

Hi
According to your first posting I presume that LCD display on your notebook is defective. If you can not see BIOS settings or Toshiba welcome screen there must be some display problem.
Experiment with external display is to be sure that graphic card is not responsible for that. In your case it works with external display and graphic card can not be responsible.
Like I said try to enter bios settings and report if you can see Toshiba welcome screen.

Tecra M3: black screen on start, vertical lines on external monitor

Hi all,
I've been searching a lot on the Internet for a solution to this specific problem I have but could not find a thread
with exactly the same problem.I have a Toshiba Tecra M3 with WinXp SP 3. Two weeks ago I encountered problems with starting up. After a couple of times restarting it would work. From then on it became worse... When I try to start up I see no splash.. the screen stays black. If I press the power button I hear the fan and the CD-drive but no screen. It's totally black. I know its working because I can go (blindly) into setup; press end, then Y and then enter. The notebook will restart but still no screen.
I hooked it up to an external monitor. Pressing Fn and F5 enables switching. The external monitor shows different
vertical lines in multiple colours. They change if I go to setup or try to start windows.
Does anyone have a solution to these problems?

Im having a similar problem,
I get the toshiba logo come up fine,
Then a bunch of black and white dots (its windows when has crashed and gives you option in safe mode) but you cant make out any of the text, I only know this because Ive delt with computers crashed before.
When windows XP SP 2 starts up basically there are white bar like dots vertically up and down the screen. Then finaly goes blue screen of death and restarts.
I have changed HDD with my old operating system so its not a virus, Ive taken out the ram, which is 2 x 1gb sticks. Ive tested them individualy and together yet I still get the same problem I mentioned above when I start my computer.
So its not the HDD or a virus, its not the ram, what is the problem here? The monitor looks fine with the toshiba logo (no dots up and down)
What do I need to fix it ? Whats broken?
Anyone who can help much apprciated.
cheers

Enabling external monitor crashes Compiz

I'm having a problem extending my desktop to an external monitor from my laptop. I'm using Compiz-fusion icon to replace Xfwm4 in Xfce. I activate the external monitor using
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900
It turns on no problem and resizes my desktop to 1440x900. My laptop screen now shows the top left corner of the desktop (it's 1024x600).
So now I try to extend the desktop so each screen can be used separately with this
xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1
This works, for the most part. The only problem is that compiz crashes. I've tried re-enabling it afterwards but it just crashes again. I used fusion-icon to swap to xfwm4 and everything works fine. Does anyone know (how to check) why this is happening?

some hardware doesnt support textures higher than 2048, so if the added display real estate is bigger than that, you cannot use compiz that way.
try setting the second display below the first one (thats what i did), and see if it works that way (remember, neither height nor width can be bigger than 2048)

10.6.8 update: screen brightness issues when hooked to external monitor

I just upgraded to MacOS 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then, the screen on my Macbook is acting strange.
I'm hooked up to an external monitor which I use almost all the time as the primary monitor. Usually, when I'm using the external, I turn the brightness all the way down (to black) on the Macbook. After the update, however, the Macbook seems to have a mind of its own. The screen gets brighter, then dimmer, then brighter again, without reason. Or, othertimes, after about 30 seconds of inactivity, the Macbook screen gets brighter, then when you move the mouse, it goes back to black again.
It's not that I care so much, but just wish I knew what was going on. Glitch in the new software?
Macbook
MacOS 10.6.8
External monitor: ViewSonic VA2231wm

Same problem here with a MacBook Pro. I have the notebook connected to a Cinema Display and thus manually dimmed down completely my MacBook Screen. Now after updating to 10.6.8 my MacBook screen dimms up at the time when it would normally dimm it down if the screen was "enabled".
I tried several steps to fix that:
- Dis- and reconnected my external Cinema Display.
- Changed display and energy safer settings in system preferences.
- Fixed file permissions.
- Did a PRAM-reset.
Nothing helped.
Please help us!

If external monitor is placed above laptop screen, dock won't appear on external monitor

I've just migrated from PC to Mac and I've found something that drives me crazy. The dock won't appear on my external monitor if the external monitor is placed directly above the MacBook Air built in display. At home. I plug in my external monitor into my MacBook Air, place my laptop on my physical desktop just below my elevated external monitor. My MacBook Air is open and I use its keyboard and its display, but my main display is my external monitor. I configured displays to match the physical arrangement:
Darn: the DOCK REFUSES to appear on the "main screen"!! This drives me crazy -- this did not happen in Windows! The task bar obeyed my "main display" setting.
I can get the dock to appear on the main screen if I tell Mavericks of an arrangement that suits Mavericks -- somewhat side-by-side, as follows:
Now the dock shows up on my external monitor which I'd identified as my main screen before all these shenanigans.
The problem with the workaround is that the mouse does not track correctly between monitors so it's not an acceptable workaround.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to work around this for real?

Try booting your laptop normally, and then plug in the external monitor when the computer has fully logged in (or when it's waiting at the login screen). Does the problem still happen when you do that?
