    Using another laptop monitor
    « on: April 23, 2010, 03:54:41 PM »
    Beginning of the winter my HP laptops HDD died. The laptop does not boot etc etc garbage until I get a new HDD from my last understanding of the information I got here.

    I bought a new HP Laptop with win 7 on it. I was wondering if I can use the monitor from the old laptop and have duel monitiors?

    Thanks in advance,
    MP.

        Anythings possible, but laptop displays were just not designed for this kind of thing.

        There are so many obstacles to doing this that it just wouldn't' be worth the trouble and effort required.
