pressing
Fn

F1
simultaneously. If you have registered a
password, press any key, type the password and press
Enter
. If
no password is registered, press any key. The screen
reactivates and allows you to continue working.

priority is not set for an external monitor. To do this, press

problem, press

times will advance you through the display options.

plugged into a working power outlet.
