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 (for laptops and video sources) or in Appendix A (for

Make sure the power light is green and not flashing and the lens 
cover is off. 
■
Try restarting your computer.

Press the

correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up

the Display utility in the Control Panel to make sure that both the 
LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. See your 
computer’s documentation or online help for details.
