I have a Samsung NC10 notebook which is out of warrantee now. A while ago I broke the screen (smashed). Rather than pay to get a new replacemnet I have been using the NC10 with an external monitor connected. I had this external moniter selected as the default, so at first the damaged screen powers up showing nothing but a broken mess, then after Windows loads the LCD screen blanks and my monitor bursts into life.
This has worked fine for a while now and I only use it as a backup machine.
However, just now I foolishly adjusted the settings, by right-clicking on the desktp and choosing the 'Graphic Settings...' sub menu. In there I think the current option was the topmost one; 'fullscreen' or something, but below this was an option 'Maintain Aspect Ratio'. I thought I would see what this did but as soon as I clicked it the screen went blank (the ext monitor) and can do absolutely nothing with it now.
As the boot-up has to load windows and then it switches to the ext monitor then there is no way I can get to safeboot or anything as the default LCD panel is defunct.
Is there any way I can get the external monitor back again does anyone know?
Thanks.
Baz
