I recently dismantled an E5400 to fix the wireless switch on the front of the laptop. Now that it is back together, it will not automatically recognize external monitors. If I connect a monitor to the VGA port, I have to go to Graphics Properties and force it to display on the monitor. Pressing Fn + F8 doesn't work. If the laptop is in the port replicator, still no video, the same steps as outlined above need to be followed to get video on the monitor.
When I disconnect the monitor or undock, I need to go back to Graphics Properties and change the settings back so it will display on the laptop LCD.
Did I forget to reconnect something when putting the laptop back together? Is this a setting that needs to be changed?
