Re: Lightbulb moment

Sheel warbled...

The computer says it can see the SmartBoard, in the SmartBoard
settings.

Thart's right... because it's not the smartboard that is the
problem,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The green light under the SmartBoard shows the link is working. It's a
dual monitor set up.

The green light would be working because it is not a smartboard
problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've eliminated everything I can.
The computer and projector are working.
I tried a different lead, no joy.

*Which* lead? If you tried a new smartboard lead, it wouldn't make a
difference because the problem is not the
smartboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last thing is the SmartBoard.
AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Fergoodnesssake... disconnect the flaming smartboard.
Switch it off.
Do not start up the smartboard software.

You will STILL have the same problem. This *might* indicate to you that
it actually is not the smartboard at fault. It is the image from the
LAPTOP that goes to the projector! The Smartboard is connected to the
laptop and NOT to the projector!

It had a chair thrown at it last year. The white skin tore but the
board still worked.
There is a new black hole in the board though and the teacher is not
saying how it happened.

If I swap the boards and the 'new' one works, at least I'll know the
old board has had it.

Swop the laptop. Or the projector. Or the cable between them. Because
that is where your problem lies.

I just hope they both hang on the wall the same way.

Igiveup. Who is the patron saint of lost causes?
