Trying to connect an old laptop to my CPU.

My monitor quit working and I'm trying to connect an old laptop as a substitute. I don't know what cable to use, or which end to connect to which device.

I don't think that any laptop can take a signal in to its screen.

Laptops have no connection for a monitor cable.

Yes they do, but it is only an output connection; it won't accept input. (which is I'm sure what you meant)

That's what I meant. Thanks.
