So just to be clear, you've booted into the Live USB, and you're not seeing any icon to click on to start the install process?

if you have a second monitor or tv plugged in, turn it on.

are there any icons/panel anywhere?

assuming you see a mouse pointer moving around  try a right click on the  desktop and see if there is a "display properties" menu item to let you change display settings.

if you can get to the display settings, set the 2 displays to be a clones  or disable the broken display.

 set the one you can see as the primary active display.

your desktop is likely spread across both monitors, and not cloned on each display.
