The inside of my screen, I think it's the LCD screen, was broken a year and a half ago. Dell wanted too much to fix or replace the part. I kept my laptop in hopes of finding someone who could fix it cheaper or finding me someone who could. A guy showed me how I could unhook one end of the blue cord from the back of my desktop computer and hook it in to the laptop. I was thrilled because you my PC's monitor I was able to still make my laptop useful. I've tried to repeat the simple steps and it wont work. The monitor stays black and it always says entering sleep mode or something like that. WHAT IM I DOING WRONG OR WHAT HAS WENT WRONG?!! I always hear my laptop coming on, making noise and the lights coming on on the side. Please help me I don't want to throw it away and i surely can't afford another one!!!!!!!
