g4 17inch alu 10.5.8 screen no go

[sad...@iinet.net.au]

hello mac users
my g4 shows signs of ageing, the screen went blank during copy for backup,
the backlight still works but no desktop & icons, which points to a hardware failure
i connected an external display, which show the desktop pic & some icons i was able to shift to the "expanded" screen, i assume the display pref are set to  'expand to the right'
is there a key sequence that forces the display preferences into mirror mode, in that way i would be able to use the g4 untill repair/repacement
