Always check the cables

I almost gave up on a computer projector of mine that I use to teach classes. Spending $700 or more for a replacement projector made my wallet hurt. Desperate, I made a call to InFocus tech support and the tech suggested I order a new VGA cable. I thought, "Sure, why didn't I think of that." I always suggest that my customers or callers to the show check the simple stuff first…cables, are connections tight, buttons pushed, etc.

One week later I received the new proprietary cable. I hooked everything up and lo and behold the projector worked great. A simple $60 solution saved me the financial agony of replacing the entire device.
