A breakdown of a display is a nuisance, which, as a rule, turns out to be a significant expense for the owner of the equipment, and not only because displays are expensive as a spare part, but also because the price for their installation sometimes exceeds the cost of a spare part. That is why in some cases it makes sense to make the display yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
At the first stage, it is necessary to connect two computers: a stationary system unit and a laptop screen. You will get two independent desktops on two monitors from one system unit.
Step 2
After that, find and download special software that will allow two displays to function at once.
Step 3
So, connect the cables you want. AC cable to mains for uninterruptible power supply.
Get into software. Insert a disc. It usually comes with a router. It is the router that is designed to connect a stationary computer and a laptop.
Step 4
Open the Start menu, go to Control Panel, and select the Network Connections section. There, find the function "join the network". And then connect the router to the computer, following the visual recommendations on the display.
Step 5
Be sure to repeat the same steps on the laptop, also connecting it to the router. To start the simultaneous operation of two monitors, for example, the Maxivista program is suitable. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard when starting the software. The installation is first carried out on a laptop. Select the "secondary computer" feature during installation.
Step 6
Perform the same operation on a stationary computer, only by selecting the "host computer" option.
On the desktop of the stationary computer, make a shortcut to the program. When you right-click the mouse, the menu item "start display of the secondary computer" will appear there.
That's all. Your laptop now acts as a second independent display.
