I want to connect my laptop to a screen hp compaq le1711. The laptop has windows 11 as OP and it seems there are no drivers for this screen. Is there alternative drivers that can work?

Hi:

 

The only suggestion I can offer would be to manually install the W7 monitor driver that I zipped up and attached below.

 

That was the latest driver released for the HP Compaq LE1711 17-inch LCD Monitor.

 

Download and unzip the file to its folder.

 

Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

 

Go to the device manager, click to expand the Monitors device manager category.

 

Click on the Generic PnP Monitor you see listed there.

 

If there are two Generic PnP Monitors listed (the notebook's display screen, and the 17" monitor), you will need to install the driver on the monitor that has this hardware ID:  MONITOR\HWP2856

 

You can follow this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:

 

How to Find Drivers for Unknown Devices in the Device Manager (howtogeek.com)

 

After you have identified the correct monitor to install the driver on, click on the Generic PnP Monitor.

 

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

 

Select the 'Browse my computer for drivers' option and browse to the driver folder that you unzipped.

 

Make sure that the Include subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
