thought i would ask this question on here because i know some of you are pretty nifty with computers.

the screen on my laptop is cracked and is very hard to see properly so i was just wondering if there is a way i can connect it to my tv, or even a monitor.... it's driving me mad trying to look at the screen through the cracks frustrated frustrated

Yes you can hook it up to another monitor, It should have a port on the back for the monitor cable.

And if your TV and laptop both have a S-Vidio port you can use the TV also, But I'd recomend just using a computer monitor.

Wait until the Wednesday evening debates. One of the candidates will probably promise a new monitor to everyone. laugh

That'll have to be McCain. Obama always claims that he's going to fix it, but never bothers to tell us how. laugh

You could possibly have a look on ebay at Spares and repairs laptops of the same kind and specs as yours, and then swap you hard drive into it! That should work too unless anyone knows better.
