Hey everyone,

My screen broke for some reason, and now i only see bright white/black spots, i tried to connect it to my external screen (24 Acer lcd screen), and it worked up until yesterday, i could see the screen only when the system was up an running windows ( could not see the booting), and now it stopped working, i see the laptop is turned on and it never pops the display on the Acer screen (the external one), and unfortunately i cant see whats the problem,is there any way of completely disconnecting the laptop display so i can see everything on the external screen?

i tried different cable, the FN+F4 SCREEN SWITCH OPTION, and putting different hd inside the laptop

Thanks!
 
It's possible the video cable that goes from motherboard to laptop screen is bad. I've noticed one time that you won't get external display unless internal cable is attached to laptop screen even if screen is cracked. This may be your case as well.
 
But if you don't see anything on the laptop screen then something is up with it, either bad screen totally or loose video cable. And since you can't get anything on external then either laptop is shot or as I said loose video cable going to laptop screen.
