Please communicate to the students that they are welcome (and encouraged) to test their laptops with the projector in that classroom ahead of time and that if any problems arise to please let MMS know ASAP. In this particularcase, since I was unable to determine the problem, it may behoove thestudents to try using it again following these steps:
1. fully shut down computer
2. connect to the projector
3. turn on projector4.
turn the computer on
5. If image does not appear immediately, try utilizing function keysfor toggling second monitor on/off.
If it still doesn't work, ask Academic Computing to suggest possiblesolutions for their specific make/model display settings.Please let me know if there are any further questions.
