Appendix B
Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external
video port when a secondary display device such as a projector 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 computer’s
documentation for the appropriate command.) On many laptops, the
activation function key is labeled with an icon, for example
or the text CRT/LCD.
Note: Usually, 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
documentation for details on your specific model.
