Most laptops can switch between the internal display, the external display, and both by pressing the "Fn" key and one of the function keys (such as F5).

What is the reason why i do not see a picture on my laptops lcd?
You may have the picture routed to an external monitor, most laptops have a key which combined with the "Fn" key will switch the display back and forth between the LCD and the external port. If there isn't even any light coming from the display then you may need to reseat the LCD cable where it connects to the motherboard, or you may have a faulty backlight. If this is the case then you should still be able to get a picture from an external monitor and run the diagnostic tools that come with your laptop. If your laptop is on and you get no display from either the LCD or the external monitor even after switching the display output back and forth then your laptop is not completing POST, and you need to check the error codes in the user manual.

How do you connect laptop to a monitor laptop screen is broke?
Plug the monitor into the laptop. Easy as plugging in a lamp. Let's hope the port isn't damaged, too. However, some laptops will not begin using an external display unless you set it to from the advanced display properties (in Windows), in which case the laptop's monitor needs to be at least somewhat usable in order to use the second one. Answer I would suggest to replace the whole LCD screen. I bought the LCD from ScreenCountry and completed the rebuild, booted the machine up, and everything worked absolutely perfectly. That's a better solution than connecting a bulky external monitory into a portable device.

Right click on the desktop, go to screen resolution, and select the second monitor. At the bottom, there should be a check box that says "Make this my primary monitor." Click it, and hit apply. I do this all the time.
