Hi:
My problem is my I8500 does not have a working CRT out. If a monitor
is plugged in, when I press Fn+F8, the internal screen will shrink in
resolution, but otherwise nothing happens. Nothing shows up on the
external monitor.
My big problem with this is I had this problem a while back, then I
had to get a new video card because the old one totally died. I was
unable to test if the new vid card fixed this issue as well
(graduating, wrapping up requirements, etc.).
Now Dell Support tells me THIS $180 vid card is bad too and I need to
buy another one.
Has anyone seen any errors like this before? As you can imagine, I
don't want to be spending $180 every five months, and I'd hate to
think Dell sold me a bad video card (really dulls my sense of
confidence in them). If so, does anyone know how to fix it?
