4) If the image does not appear on both the laptop and projector, toggle the image by holding down both the “FN” key [H] and the appropriate function key [I] (for IBM it is “F7” and Dell computers is “F8”). Wait 2 seconds in between your toggles for the screens to change.

5. 5) If you have problems getting the image projected, check to see if the projector is set to the same input that the VGA cable is plugged into (eg. “Computer In #1” and “Computer In #2”). Depending on the model of the projector, press the “mode,” “input,” or “source” button [J] until the source appearing on screen matches the input you are connected to. Then, repeat step 4.

6. 6) If you still have problems, check the screen resolution settings of your laptop by right clicking on the desktop and choosing “Properties” from the menu [K].

7. [L]
In the “Display Properties” [L] menu, go to the “Settings” [M] tab to check to see if the Screen area [N] setting is more than “1024 by 768 pixels” – our projectors will only handle resolution up to “1024 by 768 pixels.” If your resolution is higher than this setting, adjust it to a setting of “1024 by 768 pixels” or less. Press the “Apply” button, then press the “OK” button.
