My laptop screen's totally black. All the posts I've found start off with 'connect an external monitor'. But my monitor's plug won't fit any socket on the laptop. Is there an adaptor that would enable me to do it?
. If yours doesn't then it must be very old or very cheap.
Most laptops have a VGA screen connector on the back of the laptop. If yours doesn't then it must be very old or very cheap. You will need a USB to VGA convertor cable from Maplin

Thanks all. Muppet alert, muppet alert! Had another look (I was looking on the wrong side, at the wrong socket (which turns out to be a serial socket) - the monitor one's on the other side, and it does fit! And the external monitor also remains black. Hmmm.Most laptops have a VGA screen connector on the back of the laptop. If yours doesn't then it must be very old or very cheap.
