Hi @amigow,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

We noticed that this thread hasn't had any updates in a while since your original post; while this is rare, we didn't want this post to remain unanswered, so, here's the solution to your query. We hope it helps you and everyone viewing this post 😊

Option 1: Force BIOS to Output to External Monitor

Try these steps:

  1. Connect the external monitor.

  2. Turn off the laptop completely.

  3. Turn it back on and immediately start pressing the Esc key repeatedly.

  4. Wait ~10 seconds, then close the laptop lid (this sometimes forces output to external display).

  5. If your laptop is set to use external monitor when the lid is closed, the BIOS might now show up there.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved, and if you feel this reply was helpful, click “Yes”.

 

Thanks for being part of the HP Community!
