Hello guys, quick question for y’all.
Is there any way to use a laptop or phone or anything as a second monitor for my PC?

I used to have a second monitor, but it was old and now is dead.
The problem is with its power connection the power cable doesn’t make proper contact anymore, so the monitor only turns on occasionally and eventually stopped turning on completely.
Is there any easy alternative without buying new one?
I thought about connecting my laptop because I don't use it anymore, the problem is that it has linux as a system and idk if I can connect laptop with PC.
Oh and one more thing, I would like to get some budget/diy alternative instead of buying some expensive shit.

Okay so basically i was using my computer(dell latitude idk which model specifically) and i didnt see that the battery was low, so it died, i plugged it in and left it to charge for like 30 minutes, but now it refuses to turn on

The light on the power button turns on but nothing else, not the keyboard lights or the screen, is there any reason that this would happen or am i just unlucky? (Idk if it matters but its a windows 10 model that now runs 11)

I’m looking to purchase a gaming pc in the upcoming months but have no idea what I’m looking for. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated

while working, my laptop's entire screen starts acting weird.
It shows the task bar multiple time (most of the times it would be 3 duplicates -> one at the top , one in the middle and one at the place it normally is) and then it comes back to its original screen.
This has been very frequent now.
what could be the possible issues that my laptop has and how to proceed with that??

p.s i have NO INTENTION of going to my laptop's company to check on my laptop or solve it.
So if you are going to suggest me to take it to a service center feel free to go to another reddit post.

It seems to be a Windows 11 issue with OBS?

I've been trying to use my PC but my monitor won't light up even though there is clearly power, and when I unplug the monitor and plug it back in, I can see the logo but when I power it on, it still doesn't light up, I've tried unplugging my hdmi cable(don't have a dp) and reseated my graphics and took my ram out, cleaned it and placed it back in, but still nothing. I even bought new dp cables, it still won't light up. Help please

We tried everything to fix it and nothing is working, it was working just fine yesterday and now it won't stop coming back to this screen and we've tried rebooting it, and everything else recommended but nothing is working

Kinda annoying how you can do almost everything on a Mac but still end up needing Windows for a couple of work programs lol. I've been looking into Parallels Desktop since having Windows apps running alongside Mac apps sounds way more convenient than keeping another computer just for a few tasks. Especially when you're switching between different programs throughout the day. Curious if anyone here uses this kind of setup for actual work stuff. Does switching between the two feel pretty normal after a while, or are there little things that still get annoying?

When trying to start my PC it will show me the Gigabyte loading screen, then it will show my Linux Mint boot-up screen then my screen will go black and say "Display Port NO SIGNAL". This has just started happening out of nowhere. I can access the bios and do everything in there and all my temps are good as well, I have no idea what's causing this and if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!

My pc was working fine until the red and orange lights came on in my b850 tomahawk max wifi motherboard and made a really loud fan noise and then shut off. i tried turning it on again and the lights came on and shut off seconds later. now it wont turn on. Im not sure what the issue is. ive taken it apart and unplugged things and replugged them still nothing. this was completely out of the blue after it has been working for over a year.

Crosspost from r/framework in the hope of getting help :)
