Thanks, but this is not a desktop, it is a laptop, so cannot disconnect monitor separately. It may be possible to detach monitor from rest of laptop, but I don't have that level of game at this point. Also, since it is a laptop, there is no one cable connecting the monitor to the pc that I can tell.QuantumQuest said:Try to check your monitor first. Switch it off and back on. If the problem persists look at the cable connecting monitor to pc. See if it is loose.

I though PC referred to/described OS architecture, with 'PC' meaning some version of Windows, as opposed to Linux, Ubuntu, or Apple OS.QuantumQuest said:I thought that you talked about PC in post #5 but no problem if it is a laptop then you have to connect it to an external screen in order to see if the problem is in monitor or graphics card (video chipset otherwise).

Yeah, what he said.QuantumQuest said:... if it is a laptop then you have to connect it to an external screen in order to see if the problem is in monitor or graphics card (video chipset otherwise).
How do I do that , given I don't have ( access to a ) lab?phinds said:Yeah, what he said.
Can you borrow a monitor from someone who has a desktop, or take your laptop to their place and hook up to their monitor?WWGD said:How do I do that , given I don't have ( access to a ) lab?
Thanks, sorry if this is a dumb question, but, what type of cable do I use to connect my laptop to a monitor?phinds said:Can you borrow a monitor from someone who has a desktop, or take your laptop to their place and hook up to their monitor?
Now I have been recorded in a picture for eternity.WWGD said:Hi All,
I have this cracked eView attachment 218430lectronic screen. Any suggestions, please?
If it is a modern monitor, HDMI is to be likely. If it is a projector chances are it will be VGA. Perhaps DVI, but I've rarely seen laptops with DVI. They usually have HDMI, VGA or both.WWGD said:Thanks, sorry if this is a dumb question, but, what type of cable do I use to connect my laptop to a monitor?
The PC itself is cracked, not sure how it happened, but the screen itself is not cracked, thanks.StevieTNZ said:Has anything hit that side of the screen, for those lines to occur? e.g. dropped
By PC, do you mean the hardware?WWGD said:The PC itself is cracked, not sure how it happened, but the screen itself is not cracked, thanks.
There could be several reasons for this, such as a virus or malware infection, outdated software or drivers, hardware issues, or corrupted system files.
You can start by running a full virus scan and checking for any software or driver updates. You can also try performing a system restore to a point when your PC was functioning properly.
Regularly updating your software and running virus scans can help prevent future issues. It's also important to properly shut down your PC and avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files.
It depends on the specific issue with your PC. You may need to use a virus removal tool, disk cleanup software, or a system repair tool. It's best to research and choose a reputable and trusted software for your specific problem.
If you are not confident in your ability to fix the issue, it's best to seek professional help. They have the expertise and tools to properly diagnose and fix the problem with your PC.
