The term "Combo Cart" refers to all the equipment necessary for a presentation, locked down to a media cart for the purpose of circulation. These carts are typically used in locations on campus with no installed equipment, or in emergencies when equipment is not functioning properly. 

• A Combo Cart always contains a laptop and video projector but may also contain an external USB DVD player and speaker. 
• This equipment is usually reserved with a portable screen or may also be projected onto a wall, depending on the location. 

Troubleshooting: 

• Unplugged--Check thtat the power cables are all plugged in, as well as adapters. 
• Bad Cable--VGA cables can go bad, and displaying different colors (red, yellow, or blue) is usually an indication that the cable has gone bad; however, you can call for a replacement cable. 
• Wrong Input--Cycle through the video projector inputs in case it is on the wrong one (refer to video projector description)
• Connection Error--If the Internet is not working, try turning the WiFi connection on/off on the laptop. 

Laptop: 

• Client Services laptops will automatically connect to the SXU WiFi
• Can be hooked up in classrooms by VGA or HDMI
• Troubleshooting:
  • Unable to login--hold the power button down until the laptop completely shuts down. Depress the power button a second time to turn the laptop back on. Restarting the device after a forced shut down should bring you to the log in page. 

Video Projector:

• Used to display a laptop, document camera or DVD
• Personal laptops can be hooked up as well (refer to adapters section in the case that a personal laptop cannot be displayed with VGA or HDMI)
• Troubleshooting: 
  • Will Not Display--pressing the "Source" button will cycle through the inputs to look for the connected display 
    • You can also search for the display through the Menu.
