Connect a Computer to a Ceiling-Mount LCD Projector
Lecture halls and classrooms provide a speaker or professor with an opportunity to speak to many people at a time about a specific subject. In many lecture halls, there is also a ceiling-mounted LCD projector and a screen to display things such as movies, video clips, and PowerPoint presentations. Many halls allow you to bring a computer to connect to the projector for this reason.
Instructions
1. Locate the VGA port for the ceiling-mounted projector. This is usually located in a conspicuous place, such as on a podium or a laptop stand. If there is no such port, you may need to connect the cable directly to the projector. Get help if the ceiling is too high for you to reach.
2. Connect the VGA port on the computer (located in the back of the device) to the VGA port using the VGA cable. Be sure that the cable is completely secure before proceeding to the next step.
3. Turn on the computer if it is not already on.
4. For laptops only: Switch your laptop to display on the screen using the function key. Refer to your manual for instructions on do this.
