KI 0905 What to do if the projector won't work

There might be a couple of things preventing the projector from showing desired image(s). 
You should check: 
  • That the projector is turned on through the control panel on the desk, and that the projector actually is on. 
  • That you're using the right source on the control panel:
    • PC 1 or PC for the computer in the classroom. 
    • PC 2 for your own unit
  • That the screen is shared correctly. 
    • Windows: Click on the windows-button + P > duplicate.  
    • MacBook: Open the apple menu > system preferences > displays > arrangement > mirror displays
  • That all cables are properly plugged in. The cables connected to the computer are plugged in, there are no loose cables (with the exception of the ones for private units)
All of this is also relevant if you find yourself if you're in a room and want to share to for example a TV that belongs to the room, etc. 

Don't move around on desks that have equipment installed! Don't move around on cables, or try to switch around on them yourself. Cables/plugs can loosen or break. 

If none of the solutions solve your problemer, contact the IT assistant.
