Problem: Toshiba Satellite 3000 defaults to VGA out

[TabbyCat]

I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000, and I have a problem with the display.

When I boot, the LCD screen remains off. No light at all. Then, if I boot while connecting an external monitor, the monitor lights up, but the LCD does not.

However, I can switch to the LCD screen by toggling the external monitor/LCD function (FN + F5 for the toshiba), so the LCD screen is working fine. This cannot be done if I boot in safe mode, though (HUH?)

Help, please?

So what you're saying is, you can't switch between display options in Safe Mode? If that's the case, it wouldn't be that unusual. Safe Mode normally lacks many features.
