Answer:
There is a VGA port having 5X3= 15 holes (the one from which projector is connected). Connect one end of VGA wire to monitor and one to this port. Previously you were attaching monitor to CPU. But now same wire, same ports but Monitor to laptop. I think its clear now.

beofre doing the FN+F5 press F8 at start to get the safe mode menu up, then do the FN+F5 start in safe mode that should let you in, then set your external monitor up there. it may be the case that your external display, is not properly PnP note: some vga displays can auto sense the signal, they just need you to push their buttons to re-scan. so dont give up yet.

Try starting in safe mode, F8 during startup. In advanced video options should be a way to enable 2nd display all the time. See if that works.
