Hello,
My father has used his bondwell b310sx for the last 10 years or so.
It's 16 shades of grey lcd screen is beginning to go so I suggested he
get an external monitor to use as the screen instead.
However, while there is a vga output at the back where I have attached
the monitor noting appears on the screen of the monitor.
The b310sx seems to recognize that a monitor is attached by blanking the
lcd but nothing appears on the external monitor.
Does anyone have experiance with doing this?
Thanks for your time,
Mike

Mike-
There's a built in software utility pgm called BWUT. Type that- 'BWUT' - at
the DOS prompt and you get a few options presented. Option 8 is the video
state-- set that to VGA if it isn't already. Then use option 7 -display
selection- to set the display to CRT rather than LCD. It helps to hook up
the external display before you it of course!
