Actually there are. A friend in Maryland has one. It's similar to this. http://www.bestbuy.c...&skuId=3698548
:-) this is only for power, not for picture-signal
you need vga-cord, hdmi-cord or so
for tv you need hdmi-cord too...
may i ask you how long you use your laptop?
Lulu what about your TV, can you connect the laptop to that?
I found an HDMI and tried it. The picture on the TV was great. So I guess it's the screen or it's connection. Just once more reason why I hate laptops LOL

I've had it for almost two years but don't use it often at all..maybe once a week...sometimes just once or twice a month. It definitely does not get heavy usage, so this issue has definitely pissed me off to some degree.
usually produced cheaper (made in china or so) and the device should only works until the end of the warranty of the manufacturer ;-) and on a laptop you can not change the monitor/display :-(

nice to read this :-)
At least now you know LuLu.
Now you have to decide, repair or a new laptop.
If you do decide repair make sure you tell them its okay when you hook it up to another screen.
Good luck.
Well my brother found the extended warranty papers. Looks like it may be a full replacement type of deal so that's what I'll be doing. If it has to be repaired, that's covered with the warranty as well. So either way I should be good. Thanks everyone for your help!
Aren't you glad I set it to "good"?

Wow, LuLu, thats good news. Glad to hear it.
These days it seems a good idea to get the exended warranty.

Haha absolutely! But with me it will go back to evil eventually.

Oh definitely. I always tell him to get them when he buys electronics. I bought one for my TV...which I still need to see about replacing since it's gone stupid too. lol Electronics and I do not mesh well at all haha
Please copy your private files to an usb-drive or external harddisk or so and delete them from your laptop before sending it to the repair ...
the repair people (of course others too) look like foreign data through - especially private videos, photos, etc.
Oh I plan on it. I don't have much on it at all but I was thinking of restoring to factory settings just to wipe everything out.
