I have an HP dv6000 laptop and recently broke the lcd. It prompted me to try and use both of the video outs simultaneously, something that I have never done before. Usually I would just use the HDMI output and extand the laptops main display.
Long story short...i plugged in a monitor via an hdmi/dvi cable, that worked fine in extending the laptops display, but as soon as i plugged in a VGA cable to another rexternal monitor neither of them work. Same goes for trying to plug in the VGA first then HDMI.
Is this possible? A chat with HP Customer Service left me guessing? I'm not new to configuring computer, just not sure if this is possible on my notebook. Typically I use ultramon to manage my monitors but in this case it seems like it wouldnt matter.
Suggestions?
