Blue Screen I have my dell laptop hooked up to my 211E Polaroid Projector. When I turn on my projector all that shows is a blue screen. Any suggestions on what to do. It did work about 1 month ago, then I went to do my presentation and blue screen began. Any help with this issue would be very much appreciated

Check your cables the system recognizes the projector. Usually
color problems are caused by faulty cables.

Go to:

System Preferences (you can get there by clicking on the Apple Menu in the top left corner) -> Displays -> Detect displays

After you click "Detect Displays" your G3 should automatically send the display image to your projector.

Check out your output, they all show blue until you hook something up to them, make sure you have it hooked up right. write a post and let me know what you have hooked up to it.

laptop connected. projector on and running. blue screen up and reads "searching for signal" has been doing that since both machines were turned on for thirty minutes. what now?

check that you have a signal going out of the monitor socket on your lalptop.

On Dell with projector connected and switched on, press the blue fn button bottom left usually, and while holding, press one marked CRT/LCD, (maybe f8) this will cycle to the following.
laptop only, laptop and monitor, monitor only, while holding Fn button press until you have desired outcome.

hope this helps.

Yes, I solved it by unplugging everything and then re plugging it all in and it worked.
Thanks anyway!

go into the settings menu and select the computer input.

Hi

Need to press the FN + F8 key to switch display in Dell Laptop

Are you saying that the projection is solid blue? Is it similar to, say, the desktop on the laptop screen? Try moving your mouse off to the right side of the laptop. Did it show up on projector? Exciting! Try dragging stuff over. Damn, this is sweet.

Did you try going into MENU --> PICTURE --> SIGNAL MODE, and then pressing > to go through all the signal modes? On mine, most of the signal modes split the screen weirdly as you described, but one of them (in my case XGA3, but I'm not using a Mac) looks right.
