    I recently purchase a D250. Today I attempted to run a presentation to a projector at work and the project kept telling me "No signal". I've tried FN-F5 and FN-F6. Any suhggestions please. Oh and I'm not a technical person, just a home user.

    Welcome to the forums, please read the rules and enjoy your stay. One hint to ensure you get the right help, is to fill out your forum signature with your AAO's spec's. You can do this under the User Control Panel.

    Can you give us a bit more information on how you hooked up the projector?

    Typically you would be connecting a VGA (DSUB) male-to-male lead, to the VGA-out port on the left of the D250, and to the VGA input of the projector. Ensure the projector is set to VGA/DSUB/Computer input, then use the FN+F5 combo to switch to external display / clone mode. FN+F6 will turn off the D250's backlight, whereas FN+F5 is the external mode switch. You can test the principle at home with any computer monitor that has a VGA/DSUB input.
