I own a Dell Precision M4800 laptop, and my screen is broken so I can't change it or buy one. When I tried to use an external monitor, it didn't work because I turned off my NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Now that I don't see the display at all, how can I turn them back on? Are there other ways to fix this besides replacing the screen?

Why bother turning off the screen if that's your main monitor? Just change it out!
