Often on the number keys is a different colour picture of a screen (box
inside a box in yellow or brown) and a function key marked the same colour
at the bottom of the keyboard. Hold the function key down and keep hitting
the button that looks like a monitor.
I had that problem with a Toshiba once.

Subject: [SLUG] Restore laptop screen after use in Google Sydney
seminarroom?
I plugged the video cable into my laptop to give a presentation at the
Slug meeting in the Google Sydney seminar room last Friday. As soon as I
plugged the cable in, my laptop screen went blank and has not worked since.
The laptop works fine with an external monitor connected. Also the
backlight on the laptop lights but nothing is displayed. I have tried
changing the display settings and booting from a different Ubuntu on a
flash drive. These work fine, with an external monitor, just not the
laptop screen.
This is the same Kogan Agora laptop I used at Slug in the same room at
Google Sydney last year, when it worked fine:

Any suggestions?
