Advanced laptop magic problem(need help)

[2Tartu]

I have two laptops.

First laptop has a 1920x1080 screen. MSI GT683Dx
Second laptop 1366x768 screen. Lenovo B50-30

First laptop has large dead zones in screen
Second laptop is weak.

Could I, through some arcane arts, use the second laptop as an I/O device for the first laptop?
This would be in the sense that I use the first laptop for computing and the second laptop for screen & kb/mouse

Ehhh short of splicing and solidering into a kludge I dont think so

You could use your AIO for display only as it has and HDMI in port.

both systems have hdmi ports, how are you proposing this?

You should be able to use your HDMI-out from the MSI to the HDMI-in on the Lonovo. That way the Lonovo is just a monitor.

Uh, so, I simply stick an hdmi cable between the two and on each I should see 2 monitors??

For real why don't you replace the screen in the laptop, ANY display including a usb powered 16 inch monitor would cost as much last i checked.

Nvm u already have the all in one?

I'm not sure if it's an AIO as Google comes up with a laptop and an AIO.

Yes, in theory you should be able to plug one into the other for the display. You might have to check your settings to see if you have to enable it?

laptop screen replacement for my model is 96€ and it's not in stock
a new 1920x1080 monitor minimum price is 108€(+ peripherals...)
Both of the prices are prohibitive for me.

I know this sounds crazy, but have you tried using a TV with a wireless keyboard/mouse?

I used to have a 50" TV for just this purpose I need right now, when I went to France my family possessed it though.

Umm...this might help...http://www.wikihow.com/Perform-a-Christian-Exorcism

Edit: All seriousness aside, have you tried doing the HDMI from one to the other?

I like Polish businessmen, got a gold plated cable ordered for about $3.

It's not going to work, the b50, which is an all in one, has an HDMI input, you have a b50-30 which is a laptop, laptops as you know only have display outputs no inputs.

crap.

Newegg does not ship to this country. and even if it did, the screen would get damaged in shipping with a 100% certainty.
