Caleb Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Basically been running my projector through my laptop via the vga cable until the other day where i plugged the vga cable in the laptop and got no response from the laptop or projector, whereas it would normally connect itself automatically. ive tried everything i can think of, fn + f4, windows mobility center, display settings through desktop etc, tried various settings on all and searched but have had no luck. Was working a few days ago and even tried to restore my laptop from an earlier date but was unavailable, the projector works on other laptops just mine will not recognise it recently, any ideas would be much appreciated.

Caleb Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 broken or dirty VGA port? Looks fine, and does seem to acknowledge that the cable is plugged in as the screen goes blank for a second but then off, the vga cable itself is definitely fine too cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 My laptop has always been crap at this. Sony (laptop mfr) blame Samsung (monitor mfr) and vice-versa. I know it's not much help, but they're both useless. Try reinstalling driver for graphics card and remove/reinstall any monitor drivers you may have?
