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.
❏ Make sure the 
Power
light is green and not flashing and the
lens cover is off.
❏ Try restarting your computer.
❏ Press the correct 
Source
button on top of the projector or
on the remote control. (Allow a few seconds for the 
projector to sync up after pressing the button.)

such as

seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing it. Check 
your laptop’s manual or online help for details. 
On most systems, the

CRT/LCD
key lets you
toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or 
display on both at the same time. 
❏ Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need
to use the Display utility in the Windows 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.
