    Hi I have an np900x3a with a cracked screen that I picked up from a store that went out of business. I'd like to figure it and use it with an external monitor. But when I turn it on it connected with a micro hdmi to hdmi monitor nothing displays. I've tried Fn+F4 which look like the monitor hotkey but nothing shows up.

    Any tips?

    Thanks

    The lowest level video port is the VGA one (if the X3A has this port). However, you need a special dongle to connect to it.

    I don't know if the micro HDMI port is supported until the graphics driver is loaded.
