•Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.

•Ensure the projector is turned on.

•Ensure all connections are securely attached.

•Ensure the attached device is turned on.

•Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode.

•Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usually done by pressing a Fn-key combination on the notebook).

Tips for Troubleshooting
