Hi Amit,

There are some common steps which you can follow in order to connect your laptop to projector which are mentioned below:

  1. Determine the type of video output the laptop and projector you are using has. Make sure they are compatible with each other. Common video output types are VGA, S-Video, and HDMI.
  2. Make sure your computer and projector are both turned OFF.
  3. Take the video cable cord and connect the laptop and projector. It doesn’t matter which end you connect to which device; connect one end to the Projector “Computer In” port and connect the other end to the Video port on the laptop. Connect the video cable from your laptop’s external video port to the projector.
  4. Plug your projector into an electrical outlet and press the “power” button to turn it ON. Then turn on your laptop and projector and allow time for the two to fully load.
  5. If you need audio for your presentation, connect the laptop’s “audio out” port to the projector, or to another sound system.
  6. Activate the external video by pressing Fn and F4, F8 or F3 simultaneously. The key will either have CRT/LCD or a picture of a computer on it. The Fn key and the LCD keyboard key button pushed together once will take the laptop screen and project it to the projector screen, causing the laptop screen to become black. Pushing the keys together twice will allow the image to show on both the laptop and projector screen, I would recommend this option.
(Note: Depending on your computer, you may have to use a different F key than those listed above.)

I hope this helps in connecting to the projector.

Regards,
Lokesh
