Re: [Thinkpad] 760 does NOT see red

Hold down the F1 key on boot up, and run the video tests from the test menu.
You will then see if the problem is in the hardware or the Windoze drivers.
That actually sounds like a bad or missing pin on the video connector, but I
assume the different monitors you are using each have their own cable.
Also, while in the BIOS Initialize the BIOS. Sometimes this can unshuffle
the BIOS and get you going again.
