so friend of mines laptop screen is broken and ive got an extra monitor i gave her cause i know you can do that, but i just figured you could plug it right into the VGA adapter and the laptop should recognize it and start on up, however nothing actually came up and well, her screen is busted so i cant see anything to do on the laptop itself if i have to. so what do i need to do? what questions do i need to answer first?

There is usually a button you have to push to make it work...... If you notice you will see a MONTIOR button on one of the normal keys. There is usually an alternate button to make those features work.
Other then that, you are correct, it should work just fine.

If you look at the F1-F12 keys......looks like F9 is the one with the light blue MONITOR in the lower right hand corner of the key.
Now, look to the left of the SPACEBAR, the key marked "Fn"
She would press the "Fn" key to use all of the little blue icon keys......get it?
Thus, plug in the monitor, hold down the "Fn" and hit the F9

The Fn (function) + Monitor button (sometimes just a monitor icon) will generally cycle you through three settings:
1. Laptop monitor
2. External Device (monitor, projector, etc.)
3. Both

If this doesn't work, PM me.
