This is running a nVidea Quadro 110M. Getting a hold of a 15.4" screen was difficult in the first place, all the shops I spoke to wanted stupid amounts of money, due to a lack of 15.4" screens being made, For the most part, it is 15.6" and up currently.

After a few talks with some people, we have decided although unusual the bios is outputting at 1650 x 1050? but the new monitor replacement only supports 1280 x 800.

The warrenty expired over 3 years ago...

Well if I bash F2, I have NO idea if it worked, because then hitting Fn +F8 I can't see anything on wither screen. The only reason I got anywhere the first time was because I changed the ram out, and when I went to external it told me that, and then gave me the option to boot from DVD.

I cannot seem to get into the bios on the external screen, Of course it doenst help I have no clue what the bios button is on this dell.

Yup I hooked it up to an external monitor, hit the button for it, and installed windows vista, Now the WIERD thing is, If I start it up now not hooked up, The laptop starts up with the grey scree, and as soon as windows kicks in, the screen goes normal and I can use it as is!! What the hell is going on there?

I bought thisDell Latitude D820, it was working but had an annoying crack, I wiped the drive, and set about putting in a new screen. I put in the new screen to be greeted with this. CANNOT POST IMAGE. Now today I bought another screen, and I have the same issue, I have replace the screen cable with another cable, but this is used. I've already invested quite a but on money into the laptop, and would LOVE to get it fixed.
