Cannot connect laptop to external monitor?

My laptop monitor does not function, however the external monitor (which i connect does). what is the problem?

  • I have a Compaq Presario 2539A. Once i had accidently collided with my laptop and after that the monitor sometimes does not display properly - in fact the screen does switch on but is very, very hazy and i am not able to see anything. But if I connect an external monitor then the external monitor works just fine (as of now i am working through the external monitor only). Sometimes the integral monitor of the laptop works just fine. it seems that there is someting wrong with either the monitor or its connectors but i am not sure. please help.

  • Answer:

    I would say there is a loose connection to your monitir. Go to a repair shop tomake sure and get a professional job. If it is relatively new you may be able to claim a warrenty job.

Bad/loose conection probably. Possibly bad display. The video card/section works or you couldn't use the other monitor. Forget the VIRUS comment. Ain't happenin' with this problem.

virus

Your inverter inside the laptop screen is probably out. You might need to get that fixed. I don't think it's a virus or a graphics card problem that can be fixed with driver reinstallation. This simple 'inverter' chip can mess up the entire display.

reinstall the driver

When you connect again and you get a blank screen or fuzzy try moving the screen backwards and forwards to see if it comes back - also put a bit of pressure on the rear of the monitor to see if it comes on obviously if it does this would highlight a hardware issue - either a loose connection or the monitor would have to be replaced. Very unlikely to be a virus as your external monitor is fine - if it was a virus it would effect this one as well - becuase both are controlled by your NB display drivers hope this helps
