My laptop's display is now completely out. Anyway, I'm not going to use this laptop anymore (So getting a new display is out of the window). But I have to get some files and personal media from it. So I've decided to use HDMI to link it to my TV. Gonna have to buy a cable. I have Linux installed in it. So, my question is just connecting my TV and laptop is enough ? Or do I have to configure something after booting into my laptop inorder for this to work (which is impossible right now and I have no choice but to get a new display) ?
My Laptop display went completely white. Having few doubts on using HDMI.

You may have to do some setting within the OS to display the laptop onto the TV. If you are going to completely throw away the laptop I recommend to get a SATA to USB connector and remove the Hard Drive from your laptop and plug the Hard Drive into your new PC/Laptop. You will be able to boot from the Hard Drive and put the files you want onto a USB/External HD, problem solved!
