NO SOURCE FOUND With my Desktop is not problem! Desktop is running Windows 10 Laptop is running Windows 7 Professional
Wow what a complex post.
why not tell a story, use notepad, and type it and paste it here so we can see whats UP?
what are you attempting, seems the Projector is dead, right>
what cable, did you use a short direct VGA cable.
is it VGA> seems yes, you said, Fn-F4 so is VGA
my guess is its custom long cable you made bought or?
what does this line mean.???
With my Desktop is not problem!
i can not understand any of this , and ive run projectors 100s even 1000s of feet, in airports and other huge , venues.
my guess is you do not understand video and its limits.
you can not send high resolution to a old projector
and windows 10 does not run low reso. unless force
windows 10 does not run old obsolete displaces or chips at all.
now.. they are obsolete... i can list 1000s dead now... can.
The DLP projector is a very cool thing,Texas Instruments based magic.
but is old and has 1024 x 768 native resolution
so to get that to work with XP,.W7, W8 or W10
the latter is most hard, as W10 does not work and low reso.
(means not automatically work)
you have to force it.
(btw, in say xp/w7 go to safe mode F8 and force low reso.)
to do that SAY< in w10, you'd rigth click your desktop screen
go to settings then advanced display settings
click screen pick display setting, at bottom of that screen pick advance settings.
then pick above reso.
i just did and screen goes SQUARE 4:5 mode.
ugly by todays standards.
not plug in the projector and press Fn +F4 bingo, out it goes.
keep in mind some GPU chips many not allow this.
id need to know each chip in each machine used to answer that.
if the projector fails now, then try a regulor desktop monintor now
at the PC under test VGA port does it doe above reso.
yes then the projector has issues.
all this done with short 3'ft standard VGA cable as see on back of
all VGA monitors use that to test and get that work ing before using wild custom cables, unstated by you...
but youve posted before on this setup, have you not.

Hi,
To connect your laptop to a video projector, just follow these steps:
1. Connect your laptop's external video connector to the video projector.
You can use either the S-Video or external monitor port. You can do this with the laptop on or off, though eventually you do need to turn it on. Oh, what the heck: Turn on the laptop now!
2. Connect the laptop's audio-out port to the projector or to the location's sound system.
3. As long as you're connecting things, see whether you can plug the laptop into an AC socket.
No sense in wasting battery power for a presentation - or running out of battery juice in the middle of that presentation!
If your laptop has Windows Vista, go on to Step 4a. If you have Windows XP, skip to Step 4b.
4. a. In Windows Vista, open the Personalization icon in the Control Panel and then click Display Settings.
4. b. In Windows XP, open the Display icon in the Control Panel and then click the Settings tab.
The job of the Settings tab, shown in Figure 1, is to confirm that your laptop's hardware is working and that it recognizes the video projector as the external monitor. For most modern laptops, this happens automatically; the only time you really need to use the Settings dialog box is when things are hinkey.
5. Check the image; preview the slide show.
At first, the projector may just show your laptop's Windows desktop. That's not why people are coming to the meeting, though. Take your presentation for a "pre-run." Load that main slide and ensure that it shows up on the screen. If so, you're ready to go.
If the slide show has sound effects, preview them, as well, to ensure that the sound system is working.
6. Close the laptop's lid and wait to be introduced.
You can just leave your laptop at the podium, lid closed, ready to go. When you open the lid, the presentation is ready to run. If there are too many people around and security is a concern, you may want to take the laptop with you.
At other times, the video projector acts as the laptop's second monitor. The laptop shows the regular laptop screen, but the presentation appears on the video projector. (That's just PowerPoint being smart.)
Here are a few tips about making your laptop/projector connection a smooth one:
Goodluck..

I had the same and it turn out to be that my VGA cable was broken

SOURCE: can't get projector to display
i have sold over 100 of these (useless)... projectors so i can tell you that you need to;
go to display properties in the laptop and make sure you can see 2 screens otherwise you wil get nothing out of the video output/vga depending which model you have. go to the projector menu and make sure auto is set for the source/input. if your laptop has VGA out set optoma to VGA. start the projector up again and then the laptop in that sequence. if you need any more help email me.

Maybe the cable connected to the projector is bad?
If you shut down the laptop and plug the projector in on 'PC' mode, does the projector recognise the video output?
