[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1138542, member: 56379"] Thanks for your answer. You said that when you hooked up this projector (before you removed the laptops display) you saw the desktop. The when you removed the laptops display...you got nothing on the projector. What I would recommend (other than replacing the laptops display)...is reinstall the laptops display. Here's the deal. I know with some Mac computers...the built in display (for laptops & iMacs) needs to be hooked up (even if it's not working properly) before the external display abilities will work properly. This is why you got the desktop on the external projector when the laptops display was attached...and you didn't get anything on the projector after you removed the laptops display. So reinstall the laptops display so you get something on the external projector. What I recommend is...reinstall the laptops display...then try following the "Clamshell Mode" instructions I linked above...and maybe things will work out. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
