Screen went out on laptop. what cable is used to hookup lapton to external monitor
SOURCE: Data Shows up only on External Monitor, not on Laptop Screen
If your system won't display anything w/o the external monitor. there's something wrong with the LCD's backlight. you may have to contact your laptop's manufacturer and check if this laptop is still under warranty. you may have to get the lcd replaced.
thanks.

You would be well advised to hit F8 and do a safe mode. Then check the disk. More details here: http://annoyances-resolved.blogspot.com/2009/09/laptop-wont-boot-and-shows-blank-screen.html
SOURCE: can't connect to external monitor or to Sony
You need to:
- Connect everything with the laptop turned off
- Boot the laptop
- Use the Fn key plus F8 or F9 (I'm trying from a small picture of the keyboard!) to cycle through the external display options.
Testimonial: "Thanks very much. It was the F5 key in my case but solved the problem"

The external monitor may require a manual selection of the input (VGA, HDMI, etc.). Find the menu button on the monitor and look for an input selection option. You probably already know you can switch between the laptop display and the external monitor by pressing Fn-F5.
In the worst case, you have a hardware failure - possibilities include a broken wire in the VGA cable (most probable, and easiest to repair), cracked connection in the VGA connector or bad VGA video buffer/switch chip in your computer, or bad video source switch in your monitor.

Had same issue, i replaced both the cable and the screen with 2 new screen and cables but still had the issue. my guess is its the connector on the motherboard where you plug in the LCD cable because my webcam dont even work (dont see it in device manager and my cam gets its power from the lcd cable)..
