Packard Bell Easy Note MS280dw
Laptop still boots up as you can faintly see monitor working. First up I connected an ordinary monitor, booted to the XP boot up window and then nothing.
I then started it in safe mode and came up okay on CRT Monitor. I did a system restore and it then booted up no problems.
Unattached the CRT and tried just the laptop but no good.
Since then I have not been able to get it to boot to the CRT unless I use Safe Mode.
Okay, the laptop monitor has had it, but is there a way for me to use the ordinary Monitor without safemode??
It was suggested I try settings for Dual Monitors but there is nothing in the Bios if you can call it a Bios as very little settings.
And no monitor settings available in safe mode.
Also is there anyway to get the data off the hard drive, I have no troubles doing that with a PC but how can I do it, if at all, with a laptop in safe mode???
I was thinking of trying the system restore disc using the CRT monitor and see if it will then default to that monitor, so that I do not have to use safe mode. Would that work??
But have to get data off first.
What happened to the old Tech Republic with all the point system??
Thank you appreciate your help.
