I apologize for the delayed reply.

If you see a blink effect from Fn+F7, it means that
gnome-settings-daemon received the key event and is trying to switch
the screen. Try the following command:

xrandr --output VGA1 --auto

If that doesn't turn on the external screen, there is probably a bug
in your version of intel driver or X server.
