Setting Up Laptop To Default To External Monitor

[manuleka 0]

ok if one has a broken laptop screen and wants to default the lappy into external monitor so everytime it's powered up it defaults to it, is this possible?i have an acer aspire with a stuffed LCD and wants to detach the screen component and make the monitor default and maybe never re-attach Laptop screen... this doable?

Do you nevertheless see something on the broken laptop screen? Is ita d possible to type alt-ctrl-del and click on the second display and make it default?By the way, I did this on a desktop system, and it worked fine. But when the system went back to my friend's home, my display was still the default, and his one did not work. So I will have to come back home, connect my display and remove it from the default settings. ---- EDIT----By the way, most of latpops can duplicate the main screen, it's the key with the two monitors, on my laptop it's F8 combined with Fn, try it.Also connect your second display and simply close your laptop, the display should move to the second screen.

yeah it's duplicated by default when i power up Laptop but have to set the screen resolution to 1024x728 everytime because the laptop screens resolution is at 1280x800...

but laptop LCD panel is working now so second screen isn't needed anymore
