Press Fn+F5. (Do this three times to return to the state you started from.)
•
Click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Display, Settings, and then click
the Advanced button. On the Displays tab, select the Display Device you want, and
then click OK.
If the notebook is on, but the screen is blank
•
Move the mouse or tap the touch pad or scroll pad. This will wake the display if it is
off.
•
Try pressing Fn+F2 to increase the display brightness.
•
Press Fn+F5 in case the internal display was disabled. (Do this three times to return to
the state you started from.)
•
If the notebook is cold, allow it to warm up.
