HP/Compaq :: 6720S- Wont Connect To Infocus Projector
Jan 5, 2010
Laptop: Compaq 6720S
Projector: Infocus LP600
Have used this projector for 8 months, with no prob til recently.
When I connect the VGA plug into laptop, POW! off it goes. Totally shuts down.
When I connect with with laptop off, and try to boot up, NO GO! No matter if the projector is on, or off, the lap top is just rejecting the VGA cable being connected it its port.
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 R laptop to give presentations. There is not a female VGA connection on the laptop - only USB ports and an HDMI port. I have contacted Dell and been to Best Buy, Office Depot, Radio Shack, etc., etc. but no dice...
I want to use my notebook to do a presentation in class. However, no matter which projector I connect to my Vaio SZ440, the display is unable to be shown on the projector.
I've tried Fn+F7, not working, tried stamina mode, not working, tried speed mode, not working. I've tried "Connect to a projector or other external display", not working. I've no idea what I should do. I really need to fix this or else I'll get screwed this semester. Every other notebook the projector connects to, it will automatically detect and show the display. Only mine is like this.
Please help. About 1 year ago I didn't experience any problem when connecting to a projector. I didn't remember what exactly I do to make it go bad. But I really need it to work this semester.
I am having some difficulty getting a Dell Latitude D630 to connect to a projector. I have tried the Fn key+F8 key however this does not work. This option merely cycles through three other options all saying 'Presentation Mode Off'. I have been successful in connecting other laptops with the projector. Is there somthing with the D630 that I have failed to do that is causing this?
I am running Win 7 on a new T440p. I can't connect to a projector using F7 nor are the brightness controls working (F5 and F6). The other HotKeys are working. I have updated to the latest HotKey driver.
I am using Hp compaq 6720s laptop.I used before vista trial version.Then I installed Xp today.but It's fronts look are not interested to read.so i want to know how can improve the readability.Here i attached Screen shot of some serching.here U can see there is lot of white space and it's not like to read.
My cousing bought an HP Compaq 6720s a few month back, and suddenly part of her keyboard stopped working. All keys on the right third of the keyboard stopped working.
I forgot my username and password for my hp compaq 6720s laptop. Running on windows xp. Havnt used it in ages. We created administrator about a year ago. But now I cannot get in my laptop. On ctrl alt delete screen it only gives me option to either restart or shut down. When I restart I can either press f 9 f10 f12 to enter the laptop. What option to select and what to do from there?
My main aim is to playback Blu-ray ripped movies from 6935g and output to projector via hdmi.
When projector is connected to 6935g, yeah, it detected the projector and the desktop appears on the projector screen, that's the easy part 6935g downsized to 1280x720p automatically, guess that is because my pj only supports 720p and not 1080p, need to start save again for a 1080p pj,
Now the big question Powerdvd playback the movie on the 6935g screen but the powerdvd on the pj screen is black in color, no movies
I use powerdvd instead of acer arcade deluxe because the latter does not play Blu-ray ripped movies, also the acer arcade does not play blu-ray disc from the blu-ray drive, it says graphic driver not compatible it does however play the demo disc when pj not connected
I just bought this Ultrabook the other day and I travel for business. While at home, I tested the mini-display port output with my TV and it projected my laptop screen perfectly. Now I am on the road at a client site and their Epson projector will not recognize my computer's output (or more likely my computer won't recognize their projector, since other people have no problem connecting to this same projector).
XPS 13... I've tried both duplicating and extending my screen to the projector with no success. I can't find anything about this problem by doing a Google search...
My HP Envy m6 laptop cannot connect to our wifi connection and only connects using the cable connection, ethernet.
It was still fine when I downloaded windows 8.1 but all of a sudden displays limited/no connectivity. I tried everything I can including resetting tcp ip settings thru command prompt, finding other drivers till someone suggested me to put my laptop back to windows 8. Still didn't fix the problem. Now, my laptop does not access wifi nor detect any wireless connection whether our home wifi, or others.
At university, there are projectors which are used when doing a demo or presenting our software. I wanted to know if the mini display port to vga converter works flawlessly with projectors.
I am trying to connect my Inspiron 1525 laptop to a NEC MT 600 projector. Having connected the cable and switched both machines on I try to switch using Fn F8 and get the message no external monitor connected.
I have HP Pavilion 15 p000su with HDMI port and tried to connect it via HDMI-VGA cable i bought and it didnt connect.Can't Indentify it(find it in the screen options).I need it for work also tried it at home to connect it with my TV with the same cable and still not finding it... I'm really not much in this cable things and asked a guy who told me about this HDMI-VGA cable.He also tried to connect it with 2 cables one vga and one hdmi with some adapters, but the projector wasnt connecting.The drivers are correct and everything else is fine.
I can't get the display configured to support using my TV as an external monitor.
There is an option under Control Panel -> Appearance to "Connect to a Projector". That brings up a display "Computer Only", "Duplicate" or "Projector Only". If I select Duplicate I see "1|2 Multiple Monitors" in my Screen Resolution selection. But if I hit Identify it shows "1|2" both on my netbook LCD display.
After playing with this for a while I now can't even get the built-in display to work when I attache the VGA cable to my TV. That causes the LCD display to go black. I've played with toggling the display using the F5 key (also tried 6, though the icon on the F5 key seems to be the one I want). That doesn't work.
There's a different way to display the Display Devices settings - by right-clicking on the desktop area and selecting Graphics Properties. That brings up a different window which shows Operating Mode and Display Selection. I've been able to get that to indicate a Multiple Monitor choice under Operating Mode and appear to allow me to choose what to display in the "Primary Device" and the "Secondary Device", but the pull-down choices for both of these only show Notebook.
I have seen it on two different laptops now. Both are HP ProBook 6460b. When the user plugs the laptop into a VGA cable that is connected to a projector, the laptop blue screens and reboots.
The laptop doesn't bluescreen and reboot when connected to monitors, but usually the users are using a docking station when connected to a monitor, or monitors. I haven't seen any issues with plugging in a VGA cable connected to a monitor, but that is rare.
I've tried updating drivers, but haven't had any luck.
Using the projector setting, I'm noticing a slight lag when I open/close any of the applications (ie: there is a momentary pause before the window either appears/disappears).
The external monitor is a Samsung Central Station (1920x1080) and connects to the laptop wirelessly via a USB/UWB dongle.
We have several 8460p with the same issue. They work fine until you try to connect an external monitor/TV/projector and then the trouble begins.
When using Fn+F4 to establish a dual screen output the external monitor and the built in screen switches between the two as if the PC can not determine the screen to use. On rare occasions it works but it is not reliable. I´ve first encountered this on a fair and when I tried it before the session it worked well. During the session it just started this behaviour. I took it out and replaced the graphic drivers, the BIOS and made sure the resolution was not the issue. It worked well and I returned it to the lecturing room and it started again.
I started to believe the projector was the bad part here so I did not try to use the PC again on that fair but no other computer showed any sign of trouble.
Since then, this was early this spring, I´ve seen and experienced the same problem with several computers of the same type and with different monitor and they all behave the same way.
I have spent some time now and searched the web but nothing I´ve found does explain anything around this and so far no driver update and no other update (including a full installation) has solved this.
The computer are the HP Elitebook 8460p with AMD-graphics.
There are not any other indication of that something is wrong in logs or anything.
My home network has always been: SSID broadcast off, WAP2 TKIP+AES, MAC filtering and limited DHCP numbers. Yesterday, I connected the 13.3" MBP to the network and initial manual connection was fine. However, if I turn off and turn on AirPort or restart the computer, it doesn't re-connect automatically. The only time it re-connects is when I enable SSID broadcast. Is this the only option for MBPs (i.e., no auto connection to hidden SSID networks)?
I have dv6700 which came with a s-video out and I cant thank it enough for the countless times it has come in handy. Now my friend bought her dv4t and it came with a vga-out only. I know there is a HDMI port, but we are trying to connect to a SD-TV here and that doesnt support HDMI. I bought a vga-to-rca adapter in the past to use with IBM T60 notebook and it didnt work on that. Probably that notebook inherently didnt support tv-out from that vga port. Does HP notebook have the capability to do tv-out from vga port and if yes, what do I need to connect it to a standard definition tv set?
always loose signal at home and sometimes Id just let my laptop stay off for a while and then it would catch the signal again. yesterday I had problems with conecting to the network. then I checked my ip address on the laptop and it was all zeros... today I tried to check it again, typed in ipconfig command to see the address but there's a message comes out which says that Media is disconnected... I tried to press this wifi button on the laptop but it wont light on. now the wireless network option isn't even in the Network connections folder... I tried to disable/enable it from BIOS but couldnt find it there... my laptop is Compaq Presario R3000
I am planning to get a bigger external LCD and am thinking of connecting my DV5-1015TX to it. if I can connect this to any LCD or is there some specific kind of input type (VGA/DVI etc..) that I need to look for?
I recently got the 6530b HP Notebook but I now need to order a docking station.
Will the docking station allow me to connect to two monitors as I know there was a problem with the previous 6510b notebook in that one of the ports on that docking station was not enabled ; problem with notebook and not the docking station
On my DV8000 I cannot get the Intel Wireless to connect to my router at home, which confuses me because my wife can connect to it just fine, except she's using a broadcom chip. My router at work is the exact same model and setup as the one I have at home and I have no problems connection to it.
