Cannot use external display option?

This problem may caused by various way.

1st: Look at the keyboard on your notebook. If you see an LCD/CRT printed on it or maybe a monitor printed on it. It is usually an "F" key. It is usually works Fn+F7. Connect your external monitor and then press these 2 button.

2nd: If you can not find the solve , then you must check some driver like graphics card video driver, Hot key driver, Fn/F7             presentation director and Power Manager Driver.

3rd: If you see the problem again then right click on your desktop and click on Adapter or Graphics Properties and choose cloning. Then keep clicking the Fn+F7 keys 1-3 times until your external will come up.

If won't then your videos graphics adapter might have gotten damaged somehow while running some program.

Thanks.
