Hello, my question is regarding precautions that should be taken to protect my laptop screen display when connecting an external monitor via HDMI output.
I ask this because, my screen fused and would not respond 1 week ago when I turn on the laptop. Like the laptop would work but only if HDMI-external monitor was connected (in other words my laptop screen was not responding).
This may have happened because my laptop wen to sleep while the HDMI was connected ( I do my best to avoid this but happened) The specs of laptops are at the bottom in blue
As a result, I had to order a new screen for my laptop (laptopscreens.com; grade A+) and I installed it. It's working great. My only concern is what can I do to avoid this in the future or was this just a freak accident?
1.
Is there a way to connect the HDMI or unplug the HDMI? should I shut down my laptop and then disconnect HDMI.
2.
What about sleep and screen turning off due to idle time? I am worried and as a result, I only shut down my laptop every 6 hours. I do not put it to sleep/hibernate and I have selected ' Never' for 'Turn off display' in Power options in Windows. disabled
Please advise if what I am doing will make it worse or it is good that I am taking this precautions?
Also, I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section; I could not decide whether to post this under graphics or monitors section.
Thank you for all responses.
