Definitely, Yes. there's an option. You connect it into you television or you have to bring LCD for replacement. But I suggest to replace you LCD.
While we are asking the expert computer questions, I've got one.
My laptop crashed a while back and I had to get a new one.
We always back up the data to an external hard drive so no biggie when it died.
However I also have an older external disk drive that the new computer can not access due to the software not being compatible.
How do I access the data on that drive with my new machine?
Thanks, josh...:toast:

This the what I would check 1st (Whether it shows up in device manager and needs a driver update, I left the dead usb port stuff in there but it is not likely the issue)

Making Windows Recognize the Drive
If Windows doesn?t see your drive at all, it?s possible there?s a hardware issue with your computer?s USB port, a driver problem with your Windwos computer, or you may just have a dead drive.
First, unplug the drive from your USB port and try plugging it into another USB port on your computer. If it works in one USB port but not another, you may have a dead USB port. If you?ve plugged the drive into a USB hub, try connecting it to the computer instead. Some USB hubs won?t provide enough power for your external drive to function.Dead USB Port?

If the drive doesn?t show up in Disk Management even after you skip the USB hub and connect it to another USB port on your computer, it?s tough to know for certain whether the drive itself is bad or the computer is having a problem. If you have another computer nearby, try plugging the drive in there to check whether it?s detected. If the drive doesn?t work on any computer you plug it into ? be sure to check whether it appears in the computer?s Disk Management window ? the drive itself is likely dead and will need to be replaced.
If the drive does work on other computers ? or you don?t have another computer around to test this with ? Windows may be having a driver problem with the drive. You can check for this using the Device Manager.
To open it, press Windows Key + R, type ?devmgmt.msc? into the Run dialog, and press Enter.
Look under Disk drives and check for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark next to them. If you see a yellow exclamation mark, you have a driver problem. Right-click the device with a yellow exclamation mark, select Properties, and look at the error message. This error message can help you fix the problem ? you may want to perform a Google search for the error message you find.
Such problems can be tricky to fix. If the problem started recently, you may want to run System Restore. You may want to use the Update Driver button to install an updated driver, use the Roll Back Driver button to revert any changes, or use the Uninstall button to uninstall the device from your system and hope that Windows will reinstall the driver and configure it correctly when you reconnect the drive.What You Need To Know About Windows System Restore What You Need To Know About Windows System RestoreImagine the trouble you could find yourself in, if your system failed!
