Hello,
I have a virus and trying to get my laptop to work in SAFE mode TO FIX IT BUT MY LAPTOP monitor IS broken so I use an external monitor but now I can't get that to work.
 

Can u remove the infected HDD and remove the virus on another PC?
 
You probably have the laptop running open when you try to get to the second screen. If it's not in a docking station and it IS closed, turn on the laptop, then soon at it start up, close the lid. It should run just fine after that on the external monitor.
