Hooking Up Monitor to Laptop

[syedasif]

So I plugged in a CRT monitor into my laptop's VGA port. It started out nice and fine. I saw the boot-up, I saw the Windows XP loading screen and right when my cursor came up - BAM! Black Screen. The monitor just says "Please Check Signal FH:NO SYNC FV:NO SYNC".

Now how do I fix this problem? Is it my video hardware? Is it my video drivers? Or is it plain old Windows XP's fault?

My machine's a Toshiba Satellite Notebook A15/S129, processing on a 2.40GHz Celeron Processor with a 240MB RAM. It's running Windows XP Professional without any service packs.

Please help me out guys. Really appreciate it. Thanks.

The first webpage I saw after posting this query answered my query itself. And I just presses FN + F5 and BOOM! Back to huge screen. I bet Anandtech is the lucky charm, eh!
