Compaq Presario Repair?

It seems to work ok, except that there are stationary horizontal lines going across the screen. I was told that possibly some of the wiring that connects to the LCD rows on the screen have become damaged.(I'll send pics if anyone wants to see). The question is if something like this is worth repairing. Would getting another screen help, or perhaps I can get the wiring out of another dead laptop. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. Unfortunately, the desktop monitor doesn't any receive signals at all from the laptop.(I'm assuming that all I had to do was plug the monitor cable into the rear 15 pin connector). Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. Darren, first - send message to BOTH newsgroups. ( As I did) I replied the other day to another message of yours of HOW to fix it elsewhere - no need for duplication. To get the external video enabled it varies by model, but LOOK at the laptop keyboard. ( you should download the manual from Compaq) You'll see a key ( F4 ??) that has a picture of 2 displays on it. If you hold hold the Fn key and tap "THAT" key, it toggles from Laptop External Both then loops again. That's how to get the signal to the external monitor. |
