This is not a problem with the laptop.
It is a normal function.
There is a function key and one of the F keys on the keyboard.
You press the function and the F key (like F1 or F2 etc) and it cycles
around.
First cycle = laptop only
Second cycle = external monitor only
Third cycle = both laptop and external
Then back to first cycle.
Just look for a function key and one of the F keys.
also it can take a second or two for the thing to work so wait a bit
before trying another cycle.

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?
