Computer cable help

[strak33]

I have cracked a laptop screen and need to use it urgently.

Can i buy a cable so i can display it on another laptop screen?

Does that make sense?

Just connect a regular external monitor via the VGA connector,

[outragous76]

the above

and then you will usually need to toggle the screen options by pressing FUNCTION and F4 or F5 (it should have a picture of a monitor screen on the key - usually in blue)

Depending on the laptop's connection you might need an S-Video cable or HDMI cable to hook up to your TV

but the Function F4, F5 or in my case F8 is the toggle button to switch between
