    Monitor shuts off when laptop open


    My laptop screen is broken, so I have an external monitor connected through a docking port. I have a meeting today, though, and when I open the computer the monitor shuts off. Someone stated in a previous question that they solved their issue by hitting Windows + P and hitting extend monitor. However, I do not have this option as my laptop screen doesn't work. Is there an alternative method? Thank you.

    :)

    The particular steps you need to take will depend on the specific make and model of your laptop. If after reading the comments below you need more help, please identify the make and specific model of your laptop.

    In general, the first step is to connect the monitor to the laptop. Again, depending on your laptop, the display may immediately switch from the laptop to the monitor or -- more likely -- you'll have to press some combination of Fn and a numbered F key.

    Most laptops have 3 options: display on laptop only; display on external monitor only; or display on both monitors.

    Once you get the display on the external monitor only, close the laptop's lid. Either the laptop will shutdown/go to sleep or nothing will happen (which is what you want).

    If the laptop does shutdown or go to sleep even when the display is only on the external monitor, click Start, type Power Options and then click "Choose What Closing the Lid Does"

    Can I shut my laptop and work from a larger monitor? If so- where do I find the setting to make the change?
