I have a Lenovo G580 laptop. The laptop screen is busted, only lights up, but you can't see the picture. I have Windows 8 installed, but wanted to do a fresh install. I went into the Windows 8 settings and followed the method to erase my files and let it re-install itself. Upon doing this, it only boots to the broken screen, and not the external monitor. I've tried FN + F4, and FN + F7 and getting nothing. Ideas?
Lenovo G580, Windows 8 and External Monitor?

I don't think you can, you will have to fix the screen first.
Until the operating system loads it will always default to the laptop screen
