My T-60 is totaly dead when I connect it to a projector

Hi, I have a sudden problem with VGA output. Whenever I connect my T-60 to a projector (Epson one) it becomes immediately frozen. I have to press and hold the power button to restart it. The only workaround is to connect the projector before startup. Then it works, however when I unplugged the projector the T-60 is frozen again. I’m using Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

SOURCE: T30 cannot connect to projector/external monitor on windows 7.

You can connect your computer to a projector to give a presentation on a large screen.First make sure the projector is turned on, and then plug the display cable from the projector into a video port on your computer.
Then press Win Key+P or run DisplaySwitch.exe and choose your preferred display.
Note:1.You can use this same procedure to connect your computer to a monitor
2.This will have no effect if you’ve only one display connected

SOURCE: I have Windows 7 Ultimate

Access "Windows Update" and do a "search for updates".
If there are any "optional updates", those updates could be the device-driver for your device.

SOURCE: I can't get my IBM

It sounds like a failed motherboard, If it was stuck in sleep mode the computer would still turn on.

try leaving the battery removed plug in the laptop and see if it turns on, if not it sounds like a bad component on the motherboard.

Cannot Connect My Compaq Presario CQ57 to my Epson Powerlite S4 LCD Projector! Help! Please?

Hi,
The USB port in the projector is only for Optional Mouse to srcroll down the menu of the projector. Its not ment for the Video connectivity. You have to use 15 pin VGA cable to interconnect the PC and the projector then only you will get the video.

Here i have added the link for the user manual of the projector. Check out page number 30 of the manual.

My mac book and epson projector doesn't show the signal

To my knowledge there are no video drivers to output video on a Mac USB port in the Mac OS system. There are however, devices that connect to the USB port that will give video out on Conventional (VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc) connectors.e.g. http://www.newertech.com/products/viddu2dvia.phpMost projectors connect via VGA - what Projector are you using?

No signal on epson emp-x3 projector using susb cable

I'm assuming (because of the USB) that you wish to connect a computer to the projector.
You will need a VGA cable connected to the Computer input on the projector and the VGA output on your laptop.
If it is a laptop you may have to active the external monitor on your laptop. This is generally done by pressing the function key and F5. But this will depend on your Laptop and OS on the laptop. Look for a button amongst the F keys (at the top of the keyboard) that will do this on your laptop.
An example of this is in the photo.tech_av.jpg

Why is my projector suddenly projecting pink?

Is it entirely pink or does everything have a purplish tint? Check the settings. If you are connected using component or VGA, make sure that the unit is set to RGB rather than YPrPb.

Update this with what you find.

Thanks,
Dan

Epson EMP-62

What do you mean, view sky through projector? Do you mean you have a camera outside, and you want to project the video from the camera with the projector? It depends what your video source is.
The cables also depend on what your source(s) have for output
The PS2 may have composite, S-Video and component outputs - check your unit

You do not need a TV

The projector will display whatever source you give it with the appropriate video connectors and resolution

Here are the specifications for the projector
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/237793/Epson-Emp-62.html
it is 800 x 600 Dots (SVGA) resolution
It has an analog VGA input (D-Sub connector)
And it has Composite and SVideo and component video inputs for analog input
It does not take a digital video signal (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort)
It has a stereo minijack for audio output (like a phone or iPod) so you can send stereo audio to your speaker set
