Try these two things: 1) Display toggle: Laptops have multiple display modes. The four most common are: 1) laptop display only, 2) external display only, 3) duplicate the laptop display on the external display, and 4) extend the laptop display onto the external display. The computer may not be in a mode that displays the presentation on the external display properly. To switch display modes in Windows 8 and above, press Windows+P (hold the Windows key and press the letter P). You can now use your arrow keys to select the mode you want and press Enter when done (or use your mouse to click on the desired mode). Many laptops also have a key combination that will allow you to rotate between the display modes. If you have Windows 7, this will be the method you use to change display modes.

Look for a key (usually one of the function keys) that has a picture of a display on it. You usually have to hold a special Function key (usually labeled Fn) and press this key to switch between the different modes. After you press the key combination, wait at least five to ten seconds for the new setting to take effect before you toggle to the next setting. 2) Cables/connectors are loose: Make sure all cables and dongles/connectors are securely connected to your laptop, each other, and the projector. 3) Even after checking the above, you still may not see the image through the projector if your laptop has a graphics chipset that is not powerful enough to show the image on both the laptop screen and the projector at the same time.

In this case, you will have to use the display toggle to set it so that the projector is the only display. My slides show on the projector but not on my laptop screen - what do I do? Laptops have multiple display modes.
