You've landed in a Macintosh group, not the best place to find advice about
your Dell.

Most laptops have a function key combination that switches between laptop
display, external display, both and sometimes even a TV output. Perhaps your
computer's set to external only.

Check the user guide to see what key combo to use for switching. Usually you
press a key labeled "Fn" plus one of the function keys.
