My
SMART board has connection problems but everytime I unplug and replug
it, the light would come back on and things were fine. I have tried
different ports and disconnecting and reconnecting, but nothing
seems to work.
The problem could be that the computer is turning off
the USB hub, try taking a look at the device manager:
Control Panel
System
Hardware
Device Manager
USB Root Hub Properties
Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
When
I turn on my data projector, no image appears on the screen. My
laptop computer appears to be working fine, and the VGA (computer)
cable appears to be connected properly. Still, the only thing that
shows up is a blue screen and the words
"no signal". What's wrong?
It's
possible that you need a new VGA cable. It's more likely, however,
that the projector is not receiving a signal because the output port
on the back of your laptop has not been activated. To activate the
port, look for the little monitor symbol on the top row of keys on
your keyboard (often it is F7, but will vary with make and model).
Simultaneously pressing this key and the function (Fn) key should activate
the port and solve your problem. In some cases, it may be necessary
to press the two keys a second time in order to make
the image display on both the projector and the built-in laptop screen.
My
data projector was working fine, but now it projects an image with
a pink (or green) cast to it.
One
of the pins in your VGA cable (the cable that connects the computer
to the projector) is bent or missing.
A new cable should solve the problem.
When
I touch or write on my SMARTBoard, the mark appears several inches
from where I touched the board. Why?
The
SMARTBoard has lost it's orientation. This problem is more common
with mobile systems than installed systems, but it can occur
in almost any situation. If the SMARTBoard is on a mobile stand,
make sure that the leg braces are in the extended position with
the wheels locked. Then open the start-up menu of your "SMARTBoard
Tools" software, click on "orient"
and follow the standard orientation procedure.
