Hi,

I believe you need to actual detach the panel from the notebook (remove display cable (and/or inverter cable in old notebooks))

Now the Bios should be visible on the external monitor.

 

Hope it helps,

David

Thanks, it was working on Ext-Scrn last I used to install SSD 1 yr back,  but few day back I thought I do Backup image with boot USB but no luck, chrome-browser crashed due to many web-pages loaded msg failed memory not written, I restar all ok  in W8 pro, but boot to seee BIOS F10 or ESc no luck blindly return to come out and normal boot blank screen on externalscr.

Laptoip screen was not working over 3 yrs sometime  little visible then dark.

Seems disable cable bit difficult but wait think?
