I have this laptop that has no display on the screen. It can only be used when you have an external monitor connected to it. I tried the function keys and even reinstalled. Still same problem. Once when left unplugged for a couple of days. I powered it on and it came up fine and left it like that for a while, then i restarted it and am back to square one. Any ideas

After all you have tried it sounds like the lcd screen is no good or simply went out. Hopefully it is still under warranty so you can have it replaced otherwise it will cost you around $300 for the part (maybe more) Good Luck

I took it to a repair shop and they told me the same. I guess for now I will just use a monitor until I can afford to get the screen replaced. Thx
