I tried all the usual techniques on the laptop: Then, the projector failed to detect a signal from the laptop. I had no problems for a year, maybe twenty PowerPoint presentations. I paired it with a Dell 1610HD projector, using its stock 6 foot VGA to VGA cable, and an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Best Buy. NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 650 Ti 1.0GB GDDR5 card.I purchased a Dell XPS 8700 one year ago: Here's the real solution to my similar problem: Many people seem to have an issue with linking laptops with Mini DisplayPort output to projectors with VGA input.

Tried with a hama Mini Display Port to VGA adapter and same issues Second screen is a Samsung SyncMaster 732N If you have next steps in troubleshooting, I would love to hear those too.Īdapter is an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter The question I have is how to get this working? The only key difference I can see between the screen cable & the projectors cable is length (projector cable is much longer) but still within the 15m. This leads me to think an issue exists between the combination of the adapter & cable. Tried on a second projector with similar config and same issue occurs.


This all works to the second monitor on my desk - thus the Mini DisplayPort, OS/Drivers & adapter are working.Very simple problem: I am trying to hook up a laptop to a projector via a Mini DisplayPort to VGA connector, however it just doesn't work at all.
