Is a monitor internal or external?
A monitor is an external device used to display visual output from a computer. It connects to the computer's graphics card or output ports, allowing users to see what the computer is processing. In contrast, internal components refer to parts located within the computer case, such as the motherboard or CPU.

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.

Can you make it where your laptop automatically switches to an external monitor when you turn it on without having to manually switch to it?
Computers automatically default to the built-in display on power-up. It's part of the BIOS (binary in/out system) & POST (power-on self test) routines. That's simply because it's 'logical' for the computer to need to use the display it was provided with at manufacture. The only way to make it default to an external display - would be to have the computer automatically detect if an external monitor is plugged in. That would require extra software.
How do you make your external monitor the primary display on inspiron?
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.
