I have my laptop connected to a monitor, but it will not stay displayed. I turn it onto the monitor and it is on for a split second then goes black...or it will go so dark that you can just barely see the different screens that are up.

Any advice? Please. Thank you!

Not the same peoblem but I couldn't play some games while connected to an external monitor that I could play while only using the laptop screen. Found out that my mobile card couldn't handle it...Not necessarily an answer but have you tried connecting it into another monitor or a friend's monitor? Also, try another VGA/DVI/HDMI cable. You might have already done this, but thought I'd recommend it :)

Good luck mate!
