Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... and I would like to help you.

 

(1) Check cable connectors for dust/dirt, test another vga cable

(2) Connect vga cable

(3) Switch on external monitor

(4) Switch on your notebook

(5) If your computer is starting (hard disk leds is blinking ... fan is running ... )

- wait a few minutes

- Press [fn] + F8 several times ( wait 5 seconds in-between )

- Press [winkey] + p, press cursor [down] and [ENTER/Return] ... repeat several times ( wait 5 seconds in-between )

(6) Please report your results
