No signal on screen of Dell Projector 3200MP

use remote menu to turn it off and your projector needs to be connected to a signal device to project an image

are both of the lamps the same? have you installed it correctly in the socket. you might need to do a cold start for your projector. unlpugg it and try to wait for 5 minutes before plugging it again and turning it on. one your projector detected that a new lamp is intalled, it should work fine now. but if its still not working, you might want to try and replace the new lamp again. sometimes this happens.

hope this helps.

The ambient temperature in the room is to high.
Try lowering the room temperature. If that doesn't work
get a small fan and place it near the projector to provide
extra cooling. The projector is running border line on
high temperature and just needs a little extra cooling.

make sure the input is correct. chances are you have it on component. change it to computer (rgb).

Once the projector is connected to your laptop, and both devices are powered on, press the Fn + F8 keys on your laptop to toggle your screen to the projector.

Try fn + f8, then wait and see if the projector detects the port (15 seconds or so) if no change, try Fn+F8 a 2nd time

Once your display of the projector is set( all connection to computers via cables is done), then all the display settings remain with the source i.e. the laptop.

You will need to set all your laptops to the correct display properties. This you can do by either going to presentation mode or on Window XP you can simply go on to your desktop and right click > go to properties>go to setting> press display 2 and set the screen resolution as per your projectors resolution and enjoy. ( for information: display1 is the resolution meant for your laptop)

Please do rate this solution and Thanks for usinf FixYa!

Make sure that your computer was turned on first (don't ask me why). Then hold down the Fn key while pressing F8. Hope that helps.

i would take it a part and look, I would be it is a 60mm or 80mm case fan....

newegg, xoxide, performance-pcs or any other PC shop will have 60mm and 80mm case fans.


just chop off the connector from the old case fan and crimp, solder (sp?) or twist with tape the connector back on......

Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the same problem with my 3200MP The machin will come up but only show a dim white box on the screen. I've purchased another bulb and that was not the problem. Angie Black [email protected]
