Asked by: Jennifer 1825 views Dell, laptop, LCD, screen, shattered Hardware, resolved
My evil dog, Callie, tripped over the power cord and sent my Dell Inspiron 1505E to the ground. The screen is shattered and unusable. I have millions of tasks to complete. What should I do. (I am crying as I type this.)

I have checked the user manual found at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/om/about.htm#wp1097563
Your machine has two video outputs: S-Video and VGA. If you can locate an old monitor, you can use the VGA output. You can also output the display from your laptop to a television using the S-video connection. You can probably find an S-video cable lying around the house. It is the round one.
Once you have found a suitable output method, you can use F8 to toggle the display output from LCD to External.
Quit crying.
Wow. I don't know how I ever functioned without this helpful service...
