Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/ LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/ LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.
