safe mode doesnt load many drivers to this is as expected. rebooting back to normal mode will resolve this.

Try closing the laptop. You won't be able to use the keyboard, obviously, but the external display might kick in that way. In safe mode it's not going to use your display settings that designate the external monitor as the main display. It will try to use the laptop display. If you have your power settings to sleep or power off when the lid is closed you're pretty much stuck. Why did you change the boot options to safe mode, is there a separate issue?
