| Apparently projectors have a freeze button Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:44 PM PDT I don't know if I deserve to post here,I don't work tech support, I'm just a computer science major, that wants to learn more about computers and stuff so I try to help where I can, I also recently rebirthed an old computer (of mine) with Linux, I'm not great at this stuff, but hey the way to improve is practice So the projector was frozen on the first side of a power point I start by assuming the projector is a second monitors, I've had minor issues with a second monitor on the past, turns out the projector has the same signal, so they are both the same monitor, kind of like how two keyboards are treated I then tried to check the physical connections, and I thought I found the issue, there was a big wire that just wasn't plugged in, I tried to figure out what it was, and asked the professor eventually (couldn't at first, she was talking to the class while I was fixing it) as it turns out she has never seen that wire before, so I looked around, I then noticed it was plugged into something with a tag that says "laptop" which has a switch turned to "desktop" and a desktop is plugged in Turns out that's incase you want a laptop to be plugged in, but you don't have to unplug the main computer (teachers often teach in different rooms, so maybe it's so they can avoid messing with a cool-workers set up) So I decided to check the projector settings, grab the remote, and then just start cracking up Right below the main controls, I'm an easy place to accidentally press there's a big button that says "freeze" I press it, and suddenly it works I just continue laughing, and just show three teacher/class that there was a freeze button, one or two laugh a small amount,I was probably the only person am really found it funny (I was also the only one who spent 30 minutes on the problem) Thanks [link] [comments]  |
