Common Issues and Solutions MGH 420

The projector has a blue screen and/or is not showing the display from my computer… o Make sure all cables are secure (i.e., not loose) and you are logged in. o Ensure the correct input device is selected. Select the projector ( PROJ 1 or 2) and then select either COMP

(for the iMac) or LAPTOP (for your personal computer) on the PROJECTION SWITCHER . o Running the projector through a power cycle can sometimes help it detect a display. Turn off the projector, wait about 30 seconds, and then turn it on again to see if it picks up the display device you are trying to use. o If you are using a laptop, make sure your laptop is toggled to display the output on both your screen and the projector.

There is no sound coming from the computer… o First, make sure the black audio cable is plugged into the headphone jack on the computer. o Ensure the volume level on the master console is high enough (4-5 should be sufficient). o Check the sound level on the computer (e.g., make sure the volume is not muted).

The resolution appears to be off (icons are either too big or too small)… o Please make sure the screen resolution on the iMac or your laptop is set to 1024x768. In Vista, right-click an empty part of the desktop, select Personalize, and then Display Settings. On a Mac laptop, go to

System Preferences > Display to change the screen resolution.

The microphone isn’t working… o First, make sure the master console, receiver, and microphone are all powered on. o Next, make sure the receiver is set to channel 41. o There is a button on the microphone where you can check the strength of the batteries. If the light is red, the batteries will need to be replaced. Batteries can be found in the recharger next to the receiver. o Ensure the volume level on the master console is high enough (4-5 should be sufficient).

The internet isn’t working... o If you are having trouble connecting to the UW wireless network, a yellow Ethernet cable is available for use (always active – no credentials needed).
