Unfortunately, the VGA port soldered directly to the motherboard. You can see it on the last picture in this guide: http://www.insidemylaptop.com/disassemble-hp-compaq-8510p-8510w-notebook-pc/ @ Steve,

I'm trying to switch after Windows booted completly. I think it could be some electrical problem as it uses the 3rd power supply with the same laptop, during the times all of them failed to charge the battery. I also have problems turning the laptop on, sometimes it switches on after several presses of the power button. So I think these problems could be connected to the external display issues, but I have no logs and found nothing in Google. Any ideas? (besides buy a new one:) Thank you very much, Steve Hi,

Are you trying to connect to the external monitor because the internal screen failed? I believe on some HP laptops you can switch to the external monitor only after Windows booted completely. If your laptop screen doesn't work, you can try disconnecting the internal screen cable from the motherboard and start it with the external monitor after that. @ Steve,

My brother has a 8510p where the screen is just black. No signal whatsoever. Have tried to connect a external monitor to both VGA and HDMI, but still no picture. Before it went completely black he managed to get a picture every now and then by turning the laptop off, and then on again over and over. Any ideas? VideoCard? How can I be "sure" what's wrong? Thanks for any help. :) Hi Laptop Tech,
