    Hi there I have the following problem when I press Fn+F5 to switch to my external monitor nothing happens.
    I can only see a mirror of my notebook monitor to my external monitor. I want to switch to
    the external monitor in order to configure independently its resolution.

    Any ideas? I now there is always the option to set it up via Intel graphics properties but I'd rather fix
    the Fn+F5 button.

    Thanx

    My fn+f5 key doesn't do anything either. I have a monitor plugged in, it says NO SIGNAL CHECK VIDEO CABLE?
