Hello,
Unfortunately my laptop screen got cracked and broke so i had to use a TV as a monitor via HDMI. I have set the TV as the main display output etc... but it still doesnt show my BIOS.
I want to access the BIOS to disable secure boot but i cant access the BIOS what so ever because it tries to display the BIOS through the laptop screen; so i removed the laptop screen so the laptop would only think theres one output display device but that hasnt worked. The TV only displays an image when i need to Login.
Im pretty sure ive tried everything to fix my issue but this is my last resort.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Thanks in advance.

The only solution for this is to replace laptop display panel.
BIOS cannot be projected. Windows or its graphic drivers is not even loaded in BIOS, hence cannot be projected.
Sorry to the bearer of bad news.

Well this is the only other option. But it's very very tough to realise.
This is the BIOS simulator for your Intel Notebook model:

You can open the above link in another computer and know the appropriate Keys to press in order to reach Disable secure boot option & Then do the exact replica keypress in your laptop BIOS cracked screen. It depends solely on the visual perception, luck and patience.
