I can't remember the order but the Fn+F8 key combination cycles through 3 settings
These are:
1) Laptop display only (i.e. projector o/put black),
2) Projector display only (i.e. laptop display black) and
3) both together.
As I said at the top, these may not be in the correct order, but nevertheless you should have these 3 settings and repeated pressing of the Fn+F8 key combo will cycle through them all: 1-2-3-1-2-3-1 ... etc.
It may be that the projector takes a few seconds to display an image and so you are thinking that it isn't working and pressing Fn+F8 again. Allow a few seconds (say 10) after each press of the Fn+F8 combination and see what happens.
Also, make sure that the projector is actually displaying something (and has a message similar to "PC no input" ) which means it is in a standby mode waiting for a signal from the PC VGA socket.
