[QUOTE="joea132, post: 952253, member: 133517"] I dropped my 13" Macbook a few months back and busted the LCD screen. After buying a screen and unsuccessfully installing it, I gave up. Recently I've been trying to use a monitor as a display device for it but I'm having issues. I couldn't see the full screen on my monitor so I connected it to my TV and it worked fine. Then I made the mistake of messing with the display settings. and now I have a display on the TV screen that flies top to bottom constantly, like a V-hold issue. When I connect it to the monitor, It shows just a generic Mac background, even though it is booted. So what I need to do is change the display properties blindly. I'm not sure what it was set at before but I started clicking away at random icons when I couldn't see anything and I guess I disrupted the reverting back timer. Any help is greatly appreciated. It's a shame to lose a computer that was only about 5 months old when I first dropped it... [/QUOTE]
