Bypass broken laptop screen
Bypass broken laptop screen
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a DELL laptop with a broken screen - it's totally unreadable.
I can connect the laptop to my TV via a HDMI cable and it works fine. However, it only outputs the video signal to the TV once the Windows is fully fired up.
I need to access the BIOS and Startup menu in order to restore the laptop but I can not do this as during startup, only the broken screen is used by the laptop.
Is there a workaround that I can use in order to output the video signal to the HDMI output BEFORE Windows fully loads ?
Thank you in advance folks

I do know it has a VGA output and yes, I do have a monitor I can connect to.
I will look up the model number when I return home and post back.
