Hey there, thanks for helping out.Yes - physically damaged. Hard sharp object hit the display directly it seems in the middle on the top. From there splits came down and spread to the left and to the right. From what I can tell, everything else is working as expected. I was able to update BIOS for example when parts of the screen (with OK/Cancel button) were still visible. Since I had to put a new HDD into it, it does not boot up to OS.
Hi all, my Optiplex has a broken screen and I cannot see anything on it. Attaching an external display to the DP port does not show anything. I tried removing the LVDS and backlight plugs from the mainboard to "force" the mainboard to use the DP port but also no good. Is there any way it is possible to use the computer from the AiO without the interal display?I do not want to buy a replacement display if it is too expensive (also have not found the spare part on the 'net really). Thanks
External screen only for Optiplex 5260 AiO
