Not knowing what make and model you have there, nobody can say for sure.
But on mine here, Fn+F1 toggles and laptop's screen on and off. And
Fn+F5 cycles through laptop only, both, and external only.


Cheers!

As stated by BillW50, you'll get much better help if you can provide the
laptop make and model number. Different manufacturers use different
keystroke combinations.

Please provide this information.
