Re: Need to get external monitor to work on laptop

Try cycling through the LCD/external/both options on the laptop. Or perhaps the external VGA connector got broken.

The user has just called from a trade show. The external monitor that he has attached to his laptop (Sony PCVRS511) is not working. He reports that when the laptop boots up into XP Home, both monitors appear to work momentarily, but then the external monitor only shows a blue screen (he says that at times the blue has gone away and it appears black). He told me that in display properties he was able to make the 2nd monitor identify itself with a "2" on the screen.

Any ideas?
