    Do you know if it boot into the windows?

    1.If it does try windows key +p or fn f4
    2.If it doesnt, try reset the bios by 1 of the following
    -remove battery/AC and press power button for ~30sec
    -remove cmos batter and wait like 10sec

    I dun think this bios(the dvx-6xxx allow to use external monitor as boot screen unless unplugging the lcd cable.
