Possibly a dead driver chip or backlight fuse not an uncommon fault in laptops. It's also unlikely but not impossible the eternal display connector has come loose. 

 

As for dead backlight fuse shine on a light on it and see if you can see anything. Is the laptop detecting it's display as a connected device or not on the external monitor?

So yes i can see the display on the external monitor but when i shine a light on it it is faint but not clear

yeah dead backlight fuse unfortunately it's a fairly involved repair and requires SMD soldering experience. So if you want to fix the laptop your best bet is find a local shop that can do it although from my experience that kind of repair will normally run around $100+ USD but always ask as diagnostics isn't really needed.
