I have a working Dell Latitude 410 and I run an older 24 in. monitor with no troubles using the older VGA output and matching cable. Not sure if your monitor/computer have these input/output ports, but older HDMI cables have been shown to be problematic with some newer HDMI only monitors and HDMI computer outputs.

Assuming you are running a later version of WINDOWS than VISTA, make sure you follow the Help Dialogue or like, on mine, just press the 'Fn' and 'F8' keys together to switch the output to and from the computer to the monitor. The key assignments may be different so examine the little picture codes on the F Keys.

Some Video Cards have their own program to help set up multiple monitors. Invoke the best configuration for your particular setup.

It has the VGA port to allow you to do so; the machine is designed to allow you to do this....so what's the problem?

Dell latitude D610. Screen goes black. External Monitor OK.
Make sure you have not accidentally used the FN+F5 key
That combination sets the laptop to use an external display.

If using that does not give you a display take a small torch (flashlight if in USA) and shine it at an angle on the laptop screen.
If you can see any sort of picture you would be looking at replacement of some minor parts to the laptop screen

Hope this gives you the information you need. If not add any extra information you may have and lets see if we can FixYa

External montior is blank
Are you sure the laptop is powering up?
Do you hear the laptop boot up and the hard drive spinning and the power LED is on when you connected the external monitor?
The monitor must be powered up before the laptop for the video info to switch video port automatically.
If the external monitor is blank then you can't make it work, your video card is faulty and it is not possible to replace as it is built-in on the motherboard. You could replace the motherboard but this may not be a cost effective solution,

My Dell D610 laptop monitor has went completely white.
I don't have a Dell D610 with me, there should be a VGA/SVGA port on the back. If not, there's a DVI port.

If the video has not gone bad, you should be able to. Connect the monitor to the back vga/svga port or DVI port.

The are several controls to activate the monitor for Dell computers.

CTRL ALT <
CTRL ALT F10
FN F8 (CRT/LCD)
FN D
FN F12

Good Luck.

Dell latitude D610 and 1901 FP monitor
Did you hold down the Fn key and press the function key for the external VGA port? It should cycle as LCD only, LCD and VGA, VGA only and then back to LCD.
