Black Screen ( Please Help)

[GrantChapman]

I have a laptop crisis!My girlfriend has bought your laptop to my house due to a black screen. The laptop will boot in safe mode and it will display as normal but as soon as it boots in normal mode the display just stays black!

She did this by trying to connect the laptop to her tv through a VGA to HDMI cable and she accidentally pressed "only show on display 2" on a drop down menu.

The 2nd display also does not show any life!

Is there any way to undo this?

I have already tried: 1) UNPLUG THE LAPTOP 

2) REMOVE THE BATTERY 
3) HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO 2 MINUTES 
4) THEN PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN 
5) START IT UP..

 

but this has not worked.
p.s windows 7 is installed

Need fast reply!!!!!

how old are the windows?
 

advice from my side, i use my pc daily and do all sorts of things on it and when the windows is older than 6-8 monts it just starts "failing", so yeah... store all your data on a USB or something and reinstall the windows if you want more advice wait for it.

Uninstall the graphics card driver. I recommend using Driver Sweeper for that.

If that works, try installing the drivers again
