What To Do If You See a Blank Screen

If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the message No Signal after turning on your computer or video source, try the following:

Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1.

Make sure the power light is green and not flashing and the lens cap is off.

Make sure you’ve selected the correct image source; see page 32. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.

Check the Signal menu to make sure the correct input source is selected. See page 55.

projector to sync up after pressing it. Check your laptop’s manual or online help for details.

the same time.

If you’re projecting from a laptop, and you don’t see the same image on the projection screen and computer screen, check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled.

From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help for details.
