DELL VOSTRO 1510 Laptop screen broke

[devinchristison]

DELL VOSTRO 1510 fell and screen cracked not working. I have VGA MONITOR & cable hooked up to laptop.

HOW DO I GET THE EXTERNAL MONITOR TO DISPLAY IN LIEU OF LAPTOP SCREEN? IS THERE A SHORTCUT WHEN YOU POWER IT ON?

thanks you, many many hours into it

is there a function button around the f3 to f4 area that shows a box like a monitor?
