[daddyrahiem]

I have a HP Pavilion G Series and for my monitor a HP w2207h. My laptop screen in broken and I am unable to see it so I used a HDMI cable and connected it to my monitor . The laptop at first did not connect all I got was a message saying it’s not connected and a Monitor going to sleep message. I started messing around with it and I got it I work after a few uses it stopped working again and I can’t get it to work again. Please help.

Try using the screen swap hotkeys on the laptop once it's booted, see if that works.
