Broken screen

Postby pja944 » Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:55 pm

Sorry posted into the wrong place so I will start again. I have an Advent kc500-r. The screen has blanked out so I would like to connect to a TV to display the image. I need to know the order or key entries to make this happen, can anyone help. Many thanks. :)

its usually one of the function keys, so press the fn button and the function key, sometimes there is a little picture showing the external / internal screen, it scrolls between the modes so you might have to press a couple of times.

The Advent KC500 is an ECS U40SI and the user manual says "You can hook up an external monitor through the 15-pin CRT connector. Three configurations are available:
• LCD only
• CRT only
• Simultaneous display of the LCD screen and CRT monitor
You can switch between these display configurations by pressing
the key combination [Fn] + [F4]."

The terms LCD and CRT refer to the laptop screen and external monitor respectively.
