ok, so i get the other screen, i plug it in to my laptop. the screen shows up with what is on the laptop. ok, ill unplug it and see what happens. still working fine. i log the computer off and turn it off. it shuts off as normal. now, here is where it hasnt been working. i would have to hard start it 20 times to get it to work, nope, now it comes on with no problem.(the other screen is not plugged in) ok, its a fluke. i turn it on and off five times and each time it worked.
so, why would plugging another screen in the laptop and unplugging the other screen fix the problem?

i quess ill find out if it turns on ok tomorrow.
