no he's just on a laptop mine the same way fn+f8 turns on external screen. Another option would be to slap the Hd in another laptop, done that before, back up all you info then tada done. Oh and also have to make sure both laptops use the same kinda drive older comps used PATA hard drives new ones use sata. One more thing you could do is buy a external hard drive enclosure (cheap like $15 online) put you drive in the enclosure copy your info and then formate the hard drive and your left with a external hard drive that you can use anyway.

Rent or borrow a projector for the day and back up your hard drive. At least you'll get your files off it.

I tried most of the above. There is a guy that works for my dad that know his computer stuff. So he is going to get my files for me. Thanks for the help every one.

Amazing, all these computer savy posters and no answers.
First question? What external ports do you have on your puter.
Second question: Once first question is answered we will move onto next question.

We can either download with a memory stick with no monitor attached or we can just remove drive and hook up for download.
Remember, even if you have deleted your drive, if you give it to someone else to do this they will probably run a ghost scan to see all old files and downloads.

Be careful or scrap the puter and cut the hard drive...

youngpolarisguy how do these external hard drive enclosures work?
I see them on ebay cheap.
I ask because my Dell laptop came with no DVD burner.
My old Toshiba laptop has a good internal DVD burner.
Do I simply take the old Toshiba's internal DVD burner out and snap it in to the enclosure? Is it all universal fitting?
I was looking at this ebay item
Thanks

Now were on the second question.
Pay attention or leave the class.

Take your laptop apat. Unscrew back covers.

Take a serious look at the ribbon cable between base and screen.

This is usually the problem when monitor quits.

You can get a replacement ribbon cable at any computer store.

Class, darn. A little old for school but not for learning something new everyday! LOL!

Well I wish that would work as the monitor quit with force they dont like the abuse of my fist.

I run my laptop through my 46" 3D TV as a second monitor.....the only bad part is getting to the menu options, and switching on the second monitor! sorry man! what are you running windows vista, 7, 8???? I can ask my computer guy.....he is god! he just put windows 8 on my laptop......and it is not even out till next summer!

didnt have time to read the thread but you can purchase a usb adapter that you can plug your laptop harddrive into and then plug it into a deslktop computer, it will show up like a usb drive.

but you need to remove it from your laptop. not hard
