Good morning Rose!
I just plugged in the monitor to the laptop and hit fn+f7, but all the monitor is still only showing a small strip of screen on the far left side.
My sister hasn't called me back yet, but I'm pretty sure she has a spare monitor somewhere. *fingers crossed*

Did you toggle f7 until the laptop screen went dark? It may need to, incase the laptop video can't drive both at once. The toggle is a three-way, that is: laptop only, external only, and both.

If you find the monitor is toast, and you need to replace it right away, go down to Goodwill, or to any second-hand computer store, and get a 14" or 15" substitute.

Does the strip you can see on the monitor screen match some part of the screen on the portable?
And (I should have asked this before) do you have a flat panel screen?
