    Hey Guys.
    Just bought an external screen - Samsung T240.
    It's connected to my Vaio through a DVI-cable.
    How do I make the picture on my Vaio to appear on the screen?
    I tried the FN + F7 but still nothing happens...it's says check signal cable.
    Someone please...

    Finally manager to make it work, but only through HDMI.
    Still can't connect it through DVI, the screen says "check signal, someone"?

    Does Z have a DVI port?

    The cable is a DVI on one side and USB on the other side - that's what they gave me from the store.

    I can't see how you can expect an USB-DVI to work...
