Certainly! If your laptop display is broken and you're using an external monitor as the default primary screen, encountering issues like the BIOS not showing up on the second monitor is common. This happens because BIOS settings often default to the built-in display port before recognizing external monitors. To resolve this, try ultimately disconnecting the broken laptop screen or checking BIOS settings for display preferences. If you need further assistance, consulting with Business analysis assignment help experts who specialize in hardware configurations might provide additional insights tailored to your specific setup.

Hey DCLXVI, Some laptops don't send the BIOS to external monitors by default. I've had luck with these tricks:

  • Force Display Output: Try rapidly pressing the BIOS key (usually Del, F2, or Esc) during startup, even before the logo appears.
  • Check BIOS Settings: If you can boot into Windows, some BIOS versions have a setting to enable external display during boot. Look for display options in your BIOS.
  • Consult your Manual: Your ASUS ROG laptop manual might have specific instructions for your model.

To enter BIOS using an external monitor on your ASUS TUF FX505DT, first ensure the external monitor is properly connected to your laptop. Power off your laptop completely and then turn it back on, immediately pressing the F2 key repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup. Since the laptop's internal display is broken and the BIOS typically doesn't show on the external monitor, you may need to navigate the BIOS settings blindly. To assist with this, look up your laptop's BIOS layout online or refer to the user manual to guide you through the necessary steps. Additionally, some laptops allow switching displays using a function key combination, such as Fn + F8. Try pressing this combination to see if the BIOS screen appears on the external monitor. If these steps are unsuccessful, you may need to consider repairing the laptop screen or contacting ASUS support for further assistance. Regarding Invisible text
