Hello Tiff and all:)
You are right about the adapter. I believe it is an adapter to video
settings for different monitor. I used one on a Mac a few years back that I
didn't have a monitor for. I believe it would work with a laptop. When I get
some time I will have get one again and try it.

If your laptop only lets you turn off the screen if there is an external
screen attached, there is a way to get around that. I don't know what it is
called, but you can buy this plug thing to attach to the external monitor
port. It's like the size of an adapter or converter and all you have to do
is attach it before you turn the machine on.
