How to use laptop screen as desktop monitor

adityasharma · Jan 16, 2014

My desktop monitor is having some problems. Is there any way to connect my laptop screen to my old computer? I don't want to take my laptop apart, though.

Please help!

It might be possible via a network, as is suggested

You can't use a VGA cable or HDMI cable to connect the desktop to the laptop and use it as a second monitor as the VGA and HDMI ports on a laptop are for video out and not video in.
