I know that the HDMI cable is not faulty because i earlier plugged my laptop into a larger Samsung TV. I went through each resolution and none of them seemed to work on the Vizio but worked on the Samsung. I now have the laptop connected to a computer monitor, but would like the Vizio to work as a second monitor (laptop screen broke because, well, I'm an idiot). Help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank You.

So this could be the problem your laptop doesn't support 2 monitors but only one.

I have an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Series. Mine has an S-video Cable port for connecting to a TV set, and a VGA port to connect to a monitor. I can use either one to connect to a TV,if the TV has a vga port to accommodate the latter.

I agree with Joeteoh99, your laptop can only connect to one or the other but not both at the same time. What does your laptop manual say about external connections?wdo you have a manual for the Vizio? If so what does it say about other connections?

IAMSCHONE: you are not an idiot. Accidents happen. I lost my Hp laptop because a great nephew spilled hot coffee on it. It was my fault for placing the cup next to the laptop. Now with my other two laptops, I don't have anything liquid placed near them. You may be able to find a replacement screen for it on ebay or amazon.com
