hello
if it is the kind that plugs into the vga connector in the back , you will have to tell your laptop to send a signal there ,, try the Fn +F4 or F7 , there should be a picture with two squares in it ,

you have to hit the funtion key and the change display output button. it should be a "f" key with 2 squares on it. mine is function f5

now you have to make sure that your screen settings are accepted by the device try to set them to 800x600 that works 90% of the time ,,
