Expert: Chris Morrison Date: 4/18/2008 Subject: Using Laptop as primary monitor for another computer.
Question My monitor to my PC totally shut down and will not turn on so I tried using my laptop as the primary monitor for my other PC temporarily until I get another monitor for my PC. Is it possible to hook up my laptop to the other PC without changing any settings on the PC (because I can't see anything in order to change it)?
Answer Nope its not possible.
Laptop don't offer a video input, so there is no way to connect and external device.
Removing the monitor from the laptop won't work either because the laptop monitor must be connected to the board and the pin setting are very different.
