  3. using a monitor to extend my screen

    Hi Lou,

    There are several possible reasons why your LCD monitor suddenly stopped working. It could be that the graphic driver is outdated or could be the cable used is already damaged.

    For us to isolate this problem, we would like to ask the following information:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Have you installed any updates?

    In the meantime, please try the following suggestions and see if your laptop will detect the LCD monitor:

    • Update the graphic card driver. Check out Update drivers in Windows 10 for the steps.
    • Use another cable. Try using another VGA cable to connect the LCD monitor to the laptop.
    • Connect the LCD monitor to another computer. To help us isolate the issue, try connecting the LCD monitor to a different computer.

    Please let us know how it goes. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

    Regards.

    Extending display to multiple monitors

    I have 4 monitors that I would like to connect to my laptop and extend display. I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to do this. My laptop doesn't have a docking station. Any suggestions?
