Can't boot laptop without external monitor plugged in

Hi all!

A few days ago i was gaming on my laptop like any day and i installed a program. It told me to restart and so i did. To my horror the PC did not boot, the hdd led was black and the screen was black. I tried plugging in to an external monitor and it booted
just fine. So the next day i tried booting it again without plugging it in to an external monitor. Didn't work.

The only way is to have it plugged into a screen to boot it. I've tried reverting my nvidia drivers several versions and uninstalled the program.

What do i do?

 

Can't boot laptop without external monitor plugged in

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The monitor will display the Windows (or OS) logo until it boots into the OS because during the boot the motherboard displays output to the second monitor however once the OS is loaded the computer switches to Extended Display allowing the user to use both
monitors (If they both worked)

You will be able to get the laptop to display only to the monitor when connected by:

1. Turn off computer completely

2. Connect the VGA cable to the laptop (output) and monitor (input)

3. Power on laptop and Immediately close the cover of the laptop completely shut

RESOLUTION: By doing these steps the BIOS will boot recognizing the monitor as the main and only output option allowing the monitor to continue to work even after loading the OS.

The laptop will be completely closed therefore you will need a usb or bluetooth keyboard and mouse in order to perform operations going forward.

Do get back to us for any issues pertaining in the future. We will be happy to help.

I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
• Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
• A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.
