You have a function key that changes the active screen to the external monitor. You should be able to change it using that key. On my Dell it's F8 + Fn on my Compaq it's F3 + Fn.
Good Luck

Can you connect an external keyboard (either PS2 or USB). If this laptop uses an Intel chipset my might be able to right click on an empty area of screen and select "graphics properties" that brings up the "intel graphics med1a accelerator driver" screen - you can change the "display devices" in that screen.
Is there a way to fool the laptop into thinking that the screen is closed? Some laptops have a pin on the lid that presses a switch that in a hole on the case bottom. A paper clip in the hole can make the laptop think the lid is closed.
Good Luck

You could connect both a USB keyboard and a USB mouse.
