Maybe its updating but I can't tell I've tried restarting it a thousand times and nothing please help !!!! I don't I know what to v do
 
Solution
Look on the bottom of your laptop, there should be some stickers with the model number listed on it, like "HP Envy-1337" (madeup but whatever)
It's also possible they make a Docking Station for your laptop, so you can just plug it into that and then hookup the monitor and keyboard to it and you don't have to open your laptop.

I use one but I have an HP business class laptop: http://h30094.www3.hp.com/searchresults.aspx?store_id=27&pagemode=ca&search=showcase&oneclick=1

Thefnf6 didn't work but it makes noise and lights are booking
[qucotemsg=12960410,0,1496378]there's a key combination to enable / disable the external output, fn+f6 usually try that

edit: can you hear the hdd when windows starts? leds blinking etc?[/quotemsg]
