Digital projector to the external monitor port on a laptop computer but the projector indicates that there is no RGB signal?
I think you need to look at your function keys and see which one is for changing your display mode. On mine it is F8. under F8 it says CRT/LCD but it might just be a picture of a monitor. Press the Fn key (bottom left of keyboard) and the F8 (or whatever F number it is on yours) at the same time. You need to give it a short while, and you may need to do this more than once. You should be able to chose from laptop screen only, projector only, and laptop and projector simultaneously. I am no computer expert but this is what generally works for me.
