Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their exter-
nal video port when a secondary display device such as a projec-
tor is connected. Activation commands for some laptop
computers are listed in the following table. (If your computer is
not listed or the given command does not work, refer to the com-
puter’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On some
laptops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for
example or the text CRT/LCD.
NOTE: Often, pressing the key
commands once activates the
external video port, pressing it
again activates both the external
and internal ports, and pressing it
a third time activates the internal
port. Refer to your computer’s doc-
umentation for details on your spe-
cific model.
