There is a specialized cord for power for the 30" display... is there an adapter for PC based systems?

no, all you need is to get a compatible video card and all the hardware will work, have the same setuo at home :)

Hard model number to locate! The nearest I got was HP Pavilion 4275 here\nhttp://www.computerbatteries.co.uk/gb3/m/hp/pavilion-dv4275.html\n\nthe site might be worth contacting to figure out a solution\n\nor you can try a looking for universal notebook adapters such as those made by Trust

Windows XP has this built in.  You need to install additional graphics cards.  Usually those will need to be PCI as most computers only have 1 AGP or PCIx port.  Or use a higher end video card with multiple ports.  Most mid-range ($100 and up) video cards and higher have 2 ports on them, some have more.  For instance ATI has something called "Hydravision", But I recommend letting Windows do all the work for you.  I think ATI gave up on the extra Hydravision stuff now that I think about it.\n\nAnyway, when you have mulitple video cards installed, right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" and then click on the "settings" tab.  You'll see all available monitors shown graphically there.  You can click on the monitors and "enable" them to get the screen to show up there.  All monitors through Windows are autonomous and can display different data from the master (1) monitor.

Your monitor should work just fine - it uses a standard hdb-15 cable to connect to your computer.  \nMake sure you change the voltage settings on your power supply (of your computer) - it is usually a red switch in the back of your pc (by the power cord).

go to device manager from control panel, control panel>system>device manager>display adapters and either rinstall driver or rollback driver. If that doesn't fix it, the in graphics properties, change you monitor driver to plug and play. that should fix you up, if not, email me if you find any other problems and I can talk u through them

You need to get a special Video Card.  Unless your Plasma Screen has Ports for hook up to your computer.\n\nI know for sure that ATI Radeaon (I don't think I spelled that correctly) makes some.  Some or all are called All-In-Wonder (by ATI).  I think they also work both ways so you can get cable on your Computer.

I'm aware of only the Villagetronic VTBook PCMCIA graphics card. You can get info at the link below.\n\nOne way to improve your laptop's display performance is to increase the laptop's memory. Since most laptops use shared memory, increasing the general purpose memory increases the display memory. (When I went from 512 MB to 1 GB on my Toshiba laptop, the video memory went from 64 MB to 128 MB. I know because I checked.) This will give you a little better display performance.\n\nGood luck!

First of all if you've checked that the monitor is still plugged to electricity and won't work, I recommend you to take it to a specialist, so it will give you a solution.

Are you talking about something like making the desktop monitor the primary input source for the notebook?\n\nYou should be able to connect the cable from the desktop to the notebook. You may need a specialty cable, depending on the model of the notebook and type of monitor.

Usually the CRT/LCD option on a laptop isn't regulated by windows though. hmm.. I'm pretty sure if your laptop has an S-Video out, it also has an SVGA out which you can just plug a normal monitor to it and use the CRT/LCD function on your laptop without problems.

Is it a CRT (huge, big box monitor)?\nIf it is, it seems that its going to die soon. The Flyback transformer may neet replacement. Go get an LCD already :D

Try to find a a TV tuner card that would be compatible with a laptop. There are many available for desktops, but there might be a way to convert one so it can be used on a laptop.

you'll need an adapter...different types of electricity

1) Of course there is the obvious - Is it plugged in?  \n2)  Make sure the cable (I'm assuming it is not a laptop) is plugged in all the way to the computer box.\n3) Try the monitor on another computer if you can.\n4)  If a laptop - try holding down the Function key - labeled "Fn" usually - and hit the F5 key at the same time - this is a toggle to tell your computer to use another video device when you have one plugged in.  You could be toggled to turn off your monitor and look for one plugged in.  Keep holding and hitting F5 to get back to using your monitor.\n5)  If a laptop - it could be from static electricity build up - it is more common than you think.  The solution is hard to beleive but it does work.  Unplug all cords to the laptop - everything.  Then remove the battery.  Now hold the power button on for 3 minutes.  What takes place at this point is - while you hold it down, the power button is pulling all the static electricity from within.  Replace the battery and connections after the 3 minutes. Amazingly if you do this process you will notice a big difference on your screen clarity.\n6). Your graphics card may be bad, try connecting another monitor to your computer.  At times the graphic card may come loose, try pushing it down on the motherboard.\n7).  The monitor may be broken - it is not uncommon that monitors become broken.\n8).  The motherboard may be bad, but usually more than the monitor would probably be affected. \n\nI hope this helps - best of luck if you are having any issues.

Just turn the monitor on it's side. Just kidding. You probably hit a hot combo key that controls you graphic adapter. Try hittin your Ctrl key and then the up down arrow keys to get it back right. If that's not it hover your mouse over the systray icons in the bottom right of the screen. Well it may be on the top now. Find one that has to do with you graphics controller right click on it and open it. Browse around in there and find where you can rotate it back.\n\nIf all the above fails go to control panel and then Display and browse in the settings there to find where you can rotate it back.

Yes, I think you can.  You need a DVI to DVI plug, or DVI to VGA

Well, sort of...\n\nThe monitor has a proprietary connection to the mother board -- not a standard VGA cable.  It's a very thin flexible cable that goes through the hinge and then plugs onto the motherboard.  It's easy enough to take off the display (a few screws around the hinge area, then usually also the top cover of the laptop), but you'll then have to figure out which wires are which (including power) on the proprietary cable -- I haven't seen these documented anywhere, and they're different for different brands of laptops.\nGood luck :)
