Is it possible?
August 4th, 2016
1 working
1 not working, and it doesn’t have a hdd
my question:
is it possible to use my broken laptop for a second screen with my working laptop?
if you need more information about anything, just ask!
your help is greatly appreciated!
I don’t think it is. I tryed to do it but it wouldn’t work for me.
What does not working in this case mean ?
there is little chance of doing that with a working machine and with a not powered up no chance
Yea u dont have a hope in hell unless you can get an operating system on the broken machine. Even then i doubt it’ll have inputs of any kind (unless its a multi media laptop) so u’ll have to buy a VGA to USB convertor box i think.
Impossible, laptops are not designed for inputs.
agree, it doesn’t has an input for video so you can’t. even fancy things like converters, programs, ect (if the even exist) wouldn’t work decently because of the lag on it.
you could take the screen out and figure the pin out for the connector cab;e that connects the broken laptop to the broken laptops screen. Once you’ve done that, you can get a connector off teh internet and make a vga to broken laptop screen conector and use as external monitor. You’ll also need to power it though. Its a bit of a mess about but it is possible
