You can't just attach an external monitor to most running laptops. Nothing will happen. You must attach the monitor when the laptop is off, then start the laptop and it will recognize the external monitor and send the video to it.

SOURCE: when i conect my

You have to hold the Fn key and then press F4. There should be 3 settings. Setting 1. Computer Monitor. Setting 2. Computer Monitor and External screen and setting 3. External Screen only. The order changes sometimes but pretty much all laptops follow this sequence in some way.

SOURCE: I need Help Installing additional ram on my compaq

Power down your laptop and remove A/C adapter and battery. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static electricity transfer. Small panel in the middle of bottom of laptop. Remove screws and laptop RAM is right there. Be sure your RAM matches as far values and doesn't exceed maximum size supported. There should tabs that hold the RAM in. Replace pieces of RAM. Computer should recognize the new hardware and acknowledge it when you power it up. Hope that helps..

SOURCE: how do i turn on

This laptop does not have a numblock key, because the keyboard does not feature a dedicated number pad like most desktop keyboards!

Yes! it is the inverter board or the backlight behind the display that is the issue.

Presario cq56 laptop have no display

Plug in another monitor on the monitor output - if that monitor works then the problem lies with the laptop display. If the external monitor does not work also then the anomaly lies with the video circuits of your laptop. In either case , repair is expensive and not cost effective - better off just getting another computer.

Compaq turns on cap locklight on f12 light on and power light on black screen

Have you tested this laptop using an external monitor? If your laptop works good with an external monitor, it means your laptop screen is dead and needs to be replaced. If the external monitor displays black screen , it means there is something wrong with the GPU and or motherboard.

Iqon external monitor showing no input from Compaq laptop

Dear Darren,

In general, you need to select which output display to use, when you have more than one display connected to the laptop.

This can be done by pressing and holding the fn in the lower left hand of your keyboard and then pressing F4. Doing this repeatedly will switch from the laptop display to the external display to image on both displays.

Hope you may find this information helpful!

Best regards,

Miguel L. Martins

Laptop screen blank all white

Either your LCD Video Cable is not plugged in snuggly or the monitor is slowly going bad. The fact that you can see the images on an external monitors says your Video Graphics Card is working fine. You'll need to disassemble the laptop to get to the cables. Get a quote from your local computer shops, then try the guys at: http://www.generalsystemsconsulting.com Most times they will fix it and ship it back by Fedex or UPS cheaper than any quote you obtained including the shipping.
