Doug, You may have to tap the key combination two or three times to switch the output. On my Thinkpad the [blue Fn] + F7 combo steps through the following modes: LCD only, LCD + external, external only, then cycles back to LCD only. You might have to be patient for a few seconds each time you switch modes. Some external monitors and projectors have a few built-in seconds of "drama" before they actually display anything. --Doc Robert G.
