Solution R_1 Mar 9, 2018 not really. it is possible but you will need to dismantle the screen, replace the LCD driver (the pricey bit), and connect to PC. patience.

Laptops rarely include an IN port for video. With something like TeamViewer or RDC, yes. But you'd need a monitor on the PC to set it up first. You can maybe use a TV if you have one handy.
