Ok folks you are now officially permitted to laugh. My wife just told me why! The screen had it's brightness turned down completely. Use the keyboard and turn that up! It works! The reason I didn't notice (and possibly also the OP) is because there was nothing up on the screen. When I plugged the external monitor in and opened up a terminal my wife noticed the barely visible outline of the terminal on the main laptops monitor. Regards, Adam
