What should be checked if a laptop-connected projector is not displaying an image?

The projector's power source
The laptop's screen port has been enabled using the correct function keys
The projector's input settings
The connection type (HDMI or VGA)

The correct answer is: The laptop's screen port has been enabled using the correct function keys

The most relevant aspect to check when a laptop-connected projector is not displaying an image is ensuring that the laptop's screen port has been enabled using the correct function keys. Many laptops have specific function keys that toggle the display output between the laptop screen and any external displays, such as projectors. If this setting is not activated, the projector will not receive any signal from the laptop, leading to a blank screen. This step is essential because even if the projector is powered on and connected properly, without appropriately directing the laptop's output to the projector, the image will not be displayed. This often applies to various models of laptops, where users may inadvertently remain on the laptop's internal display instead of switching to the external projector.
