Jump to PostWhilst external monitor was plugged did you try the function switch that switches between screens ?
Also have you tried brightness/contrast switches ?

It is possible keyboard is damaged. Even a drop of water will cause all sorts of problems. at startup.
First remove power cable and battery.
If you look round edge of keyboard you should find a number of clips, probably three or four on each long edge. If you are careful you can get keyboard out. Then disconnect cable for keyboard.
Then put battery and powerlead back and plug in an external keyboard and switch on. See what happens.
THIS IS DONE AT YOUR RISK
