Lose display on notebook when I undock or reboot

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When I undock my Dell notebook, I lose my display. If I turn it off and
reboot it, the Windows screen show up, but then it goes black, so I am unable
to use it.

I checked the power management, as best I could, and all the settings look
correct.

Do you have any idea how I can fix it? If the Windows screen didn't come
up, I would think there's a loose wire or it needs repair. But this really
seems like just a setting.
