Bobcat915,
I have encountered this situation before myself and it was due to the frequency range and resolution that the external VGA monitor can handle. First, try dumping down your screen resolution to an 800x600 on the laptop itself. Save the setting and reboot to make sure it stays. Next connect the external monitor and reboot the system with it plugged in (power and data). See if the monitor will display anything. Note: You may also have to look at the frequency setting of your video card in the laptop in order to match it with your external monitor.
I can't imagine that a bad CMOS battery would be the issue. Does the screen on your laptop work without the external monitor plugged in?
If that works, try and hold down the function button and press the F8 key. That should switch between the two screens. If the Laptop screen still does not come on, It is probably bad.1,359 views

yea i tried the "Fn + key" but i did not restart after, ill try that and pray for the best!
well i tried to do the reboot after haveing the vga external moniter in, but to no avail. would a totally bad cmos battery be the culprit?
i got the exact same problem, please help
Did you check the "Fn + key" to make sure you have selected the external monitor and then rebooted the computer? In order for the laptop to recognize the new monitor it has to be installed and configured. Usually a reboot with it connected will do the trick. You may also have to play with the Fn keys to select the alternative video source. Hope this helps!
