Projecting Issues

[Harry1980]

Hi All,

 

I have a Fujitsu Lifebook A series A544 Laptop which does not connect to the projector. Projector is displayed with no signal. I have pressed Fn + F10 and selected the correct option till the same. I have changed the settings on the projector (Computer 1, Computer 2, VGA etc) still the same. I use a different Fujitsu Lifebook A series A544 Laptop and that works fine with the projector. I have checked the drivers and screen resolution and they seem fine. Any advice would be welcomed..

 

Many thanks

Have you tried with an external monitor? Have quite often seen laptops that won't output to some projectors; the projector can't seem to fathom a strong enough signal.

Try changing the resolution on the laptop, some projectors struggle when the res is to high

I think I have tried changing the resolution, but I will try again tomorrow also will try connecting a monitor and see what happens. Thanks

Is the connectors OK.

 

I had a similar problem this week where our hall projector in the ceiling kept kicking off the laptop/ freesat box. By a total fluke i opened up the wall pannel and saw that the conectors inside had been bent so the solder was touching each other causing some weird short circuit. Could be worth a look

I have tried connecting a monitor and changed the resolution but still no luck. It is also not the connectors because other laptops work fine. The resolution settings on the laptop are as follows:

 

Display: 1|2 Multiple Monitors

Resolution: 1280 x 720

Orientation: Landscape

Multiple displays: Duplicate these displays (I have changed this setting to Extend these displays, still the same)

The VGA output could of failed on the laptop usually caused by a build up of static from continually plugging in and unplugging the VGA cable.

This laptop is new and the VGA port has not been used before.
