Friends,
My situation
1. I have a dell laptop, its display is gone. Actually there is display, but it is so dim it is impossible to read anything in it.
2. I am using it with my HDTV as an external monitor, and it works fine.
3. OS = Vista 32 bit Home Premium
My problem:
Display comes in HDTV only after windows is loaded (log on screen). I can not get any pre boot display in my HDTV. Is it possible to change this so that I can get pre booting display? e.g. if I want to run BIOS setup, i cannot see anything..laptop screen dead, and no display (no signal) in HDTV.
I have tried connecting laptop both with VGA cable, and HDMI cable, but the issue is same.
Any idea will be appreciated.
