I woke up today and found out half of my laptop screen is darker than the other, i tried to fix it by going to device manager and disabling my GPU but when i did that it screwed up half of screen like it was glitched. So i connected a external monitor to my laptop and my external monitor didn't pick up any signal so i turned my laptops monitor off by pressing the power button once and it fixed my glitched screen but its still slightly darker than the other but i still couldn't get any signal on my external monitor. So can anyone explain what's going on ?

Sorry for my bad English

For getting it to show up on another screen, try using the Windows key + P combination. Also make sure that the second screen is set to receive signal...

For getting it to show up on another screen, try using the Windows key + P combination. Also make sure that the second screen is set to receive signal from your PC (For example, HDMI or VGA)
Try Safe Mode to rule out any driver issues.
I have a feeling that the problem is being caused by your screen's ribbon cable inside the laptop. If you know how to work with laptop parts safely, try reseating that cable.
