I got D800 with dead display and no OS.
I hopped to buy new lcd panel but was surprised that it would cost more than this laptop's current value but used panels are also about 50-60 bucks and are in suspicious conditions. So the hunting for good used panel will take me a while...
In meantime I tried external monitor and it didn't work.
On this forum I read that it's possible to use external monitor on HP to enter bios. If so it's also possible to install XP. I tried fn-F7, fn-F8 with no luck. Unfortunately I don't even know current bios settings.
May be you know guys how to engage external monitor on D800?
