I used to be Computer Guy, but now, I am just Corey. I forgot my password. How do you make an external display the main display because I can't see a thing on the computer's display because there is no display. I broke the display a long time ago. Can ANYBODY help?
Is this a good question?

After you get the external monitor working, start up from you system installation disk and go to Utilities > Change password.

I can't do that because I can't see anything.
Did you connect an external monitor first?
No, becuase it does not work as you can see in the comment above.
Sounds like you have a bigger problem than the monitor. Leave the external plugged in and try restarting. Note anything that takes place that might give us a clue as to why the machine will not start.
Once I turn the external monitor on, the computer is just starting up. Then, the external monitor says "No Signal" because it does not sense the computer and shuts down. How can I stop this? It is an Acer display.

Connect an external monitor, then turn it on, before you turn the laptop on. Hopefully, the Powerbook will detect it automatically, so you can see things on the external monitor.

It didn't work. The display keeps turning off before I can turn the computer on. How can I make it work?
the osx needs to boot then it may see the ex display ?? now you will need to make it a mirror or the laptop this is hard to do as you will need to see the laptop display.?? make a new disk drive on a bowerbook g4 as this boots on that machine make this a mirror and then put your laptop (t) on boot on the laptop you will see your hard drive open it make it a mirror and then // reboot and it work with you ex display only after osx has booted .
