Dell d600 will not transfer laptop screen image to nec projector

you need to right click on the desktop and click properties, when display settings appear, enable the second display and you will then be able to show output on the projector. if you choose mirror displays whatever is shown on your laptop is copied to the projector. if you choose extend the display you would have to drag your power point over to the other screen, same as if you were to move the window out of the way

Press Fn+F8 to enable your external projector.

this is very simple, its just a matter of a bios upgrade for your laptop

Connect the toshiba tdp-t45 to the back of the D600 and then hold down FN and tap F8. This will transfer the video to the tdp-t45. If this does not work for the first time try the Fn and F8 keys 2 - 3 times.


Rate if useful.

Hi there if you have plugged into your external vga port all you have to do is press fn + f8 that should now show the image on both laptop and external ie projector

<Fn><F8>
Switches the video image to the next display in the following sequence: the integrated display only, the integrated display and an external CRT monitor simultaneously, an external CRT monitor only, the integrated display and an external DVI monitor simultaneously, and an external DVI monitor only.
<Fn> + up-arrow key
Increases brightness on the integrated display only (not on an external monitor)
<Fn> + down-arrow key
Decreases brightness on the integrated display only (not on an external monitor)

image resolution is not syncing up. reset the settings to factory default, then hook up the laptop and press auto image. if it still doesn't work, you may need to change the resolution on your laptop.

Hi

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

i do the same thing sometimes. i dont think you can have the same on both screens so what i do is extend my desktop on to the projector in display properties. do you know how to do that? that might be the default when you hook up something for a second monitor. what are you trying to do?

go into menu, under image, and chose ceiling.

suggest you to go to dell support website and ask the solution there and i have also that problem because I own one . and try to configure your laptop at dell to determine the problems and yet to install programs and drivers . Good Luck!
