Q&A: How do I connect a laptop with a broken screen to another laptop?

Question by Zeke: How do I connect a laptop with a broken screen to another laptop?
I need to connect a laptop with a broken screen to a laptop without a broken screen so I can see what’s on the broken-screen laptop, is that possible/how would I do that?

Not possible. You can, however, connect it to a monitor using the video output on the laptop. Most laptops have VGA outputs, and some have DVI and/or HDMI as well, so they should accommodate most computer monitors. If you don’t have a monitor to connect to, look on Craigslist: certainly someone has a CRT monitor there that they don’t need.
