What to do if the screen remains black?
Check that the computer is not in Sleep mode (sleep indicator on): briefly press the power button. Adjust brightness with Fn + Right/Up arrow. If the display is switched to an external monitor, use Fn + F5 to switch back to the built-in screen.
How to connect a projector or external monitor?
Plug the projector into the VGA or DVI-D port. Press Fn + F5 to switch between the internal screen, external screen, or both. You can also use Acer ePresentation Management from the Empowering Technology bar.
