on it if I shined a flashlight on it at different angles. It turned out to be a bad screen. FWIW, this was with Knoppix but the
screen was definitely bad. Screens on laptops are fairly easy to replace, FWIW. Lots of videos on how to do it and the screens
tend to be < $100.
Otherwise, I couldn't tell you what might be happening.
Good luck.
Kevinanother idea: could it be you have an (intel) adapter that 'thinks' you have two displays, and instead you only have one? i mean, the background is black both on portable's display and on external display?
