Does the laptop display work with the monitor disconnected?

Use this command and post the output, with the monitor connected: xrandr --listproviders

Also, when i'm going to Advanced options for Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon in GNU GRUB i have 4 options 2 pairs each one the same but with (recovery mode). In post i described what is going on when i boot Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon, with Linux 5.4.0-39-generic but when i go for the second option with Linux 5.4.0-26-generic both of displays doesn't work.

I just found that my laptop is very hot and all what i did was surfing YT for 1-2 hours.

67.0°C is too much for just YT browsing

Remove the xorg.conf file: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Log out and back in. The monitor may not work now if the HDMI port is internally connected to the Nvidia GPU.

If the laptop display is working, then post the output of xrandr --listproviders

[FanicaCurentatu]

I removed that conf. So, now hmdi is not working but main laptop display is working like u said but the main laptop thisplay is now blinking once at like 10 sec.

This is the output:

Code: Select all

Provider 0: id: 0x54 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:Unknown AMD Radeon GPU @ pci:0000:05:00.0

[roblm]

You mentioned the laptop was very hot in a previous post. I suggest turning if off for a while and then checking for the blinking. If it is still present but was not present when running the live session with the installation USB, then try using the default 5.4.0-26 kernel.

68°C is not unusual when watching YouTube videos, due to (at least in my experience) YT being a resource hog. You'll probably get the temps down a bit if you restart the browser after a period of YT viewing; certainly the memory footprint should drop back too. It's greedy on that front.

At least we know your laptop monitor's internal cable is OK, which is often the cause of internal display failure (which is mainly why I checked this thread).
