Projector not displaying an image

Issue

A classroom projector is not displaying anything from the multimedia rack/podium.

Environment 

• Classroom Technologies

Resolution

1. Is the projector on?
   • Is there a light shining from the lens of the projector? (Do not look directly into the light!)
   • If there is no light, or nothing is displaying on the projector screen, try toggling the Display OFF and ON
     • Note: It can take a few minutes for the projector to turn off or on. Often times you will hear a beep as well as the fans when starting up.
2. Make sure the AV MUTE button is not active.
3. Is there a solid green indicator light anywhere on the projector?
   • Anything other than a solid green indicator light could indicate the projector is off, sleeping, or not functioning properly.
4. Select a different source than the one you are trying to use, and then switch back to the desired source.
   • Note: To effectively toggle between inputs, both inputs must be on.
5. Are the video cables connected securely?
6. If using a personal computer or a multimedia station with a laptop:
   • Press FN+F4 or Windows  + P to toggle display settings
     • Make sure Extend or Duplicate/Mirror display is selected
