[QUOTE="DianeDennis, post: 1527384, member: 151769"] My biggest problem is that I don't have anything to plug it into. I used to have a firewire cable and I do have a couple other macs that I could use the firewire with but I no longer have the cable (someone snaked it). When you say "external monitor" could another MacBook be the external monitor even though there's no firewire? If yes, what would be the "right kind of cable"? I have a second MacBook that is exactly like the one with the broken screen (except it doesn't have a broken screen) ;) so I could use it if I have a way to connect them. I don't know what the right kind of cable would be to do that or if it's even possible to do that. Thank you so much to both of you for helping me with this!! Diane [/QUOTE]
