    Duplicating display between laptops
    « on: May 19, 2011, 11:43:28 PM »
    I have a laptop with a severely messed up screen. It's basically unreadable. I was wondering if there was anyway I could use a VGA cable to connect the messed up laptop to my good laptop so that my good laptop shows the messed up laptop's screen. I know I can do it with a TV or a normal monitor, but right now all I have access to is my good laptop.

    The laptops aren't designed to be used as screens. I'm sure there's a program out there that could do this, but if you can't see anything in your bad laptop, I don't think there's anything you can do but to repair it.
