In my case a family member ruined her screen, (black screen) Set up the dual screen and was able to back up the data she needed by using the second screen before I dropped the unit off to be fixed.

      Be careful and not keep the power attached to the laptop for long lengths of time. We fried our battery on the $1300 MBP because we were closing the laptop and plugging it in for the monitor. Use the laptop as a laptop, keep the lid open and use the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Trust me. It's going to cost us $400 for the repair of the bulging battery. We had another MBP prior to this one where the battery died. We had no idea we were causing the issue because we were closing the lid and connecting the power.
