"This happened to my projector last year when it was just over one year old. Of course the projector bulb was just out of its guarantee so I had to pay to get the bulb replaced. Now, precisely one year later, it's happening again. The girl in…"

Rob Jacklin commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"I'm having this issue with one of my Unifi 45 projectors. Was there ever any resolution to this? I also have checked all of my cords and wires. Over heating is the likely culprit.
Did routine maintenance fix the problem? As an aside, why would…"
Diana commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"Did you ever get this resolved? We are having similar issues with our boards district wide but it has never been mentioned it had anything to do with the projector. Is your board light going red, black or blinking green randomly? What…"
"Do you have a work around for a Mac user with this problem?"
Lisa Sassaman replied to Colleen Meulstee's discussion "Weak Signal" in the group Senteo or SMART Response Student Clickers"There is a thread running about this already. I used the workaround shown below, and have my fingers crossed that this will take care of the problem. If it doesn't, try searching on "weak signal" in this discussion board.

"Weak Signal"
Does anyone know how to disable the note that appears saying "XYZ has a weak signal"? My students are fascinated by it and every time it pops up they shout out who has a weak signal...driving me nuts! :)See More
"Will do. That was happening in the weeks prior, so my guess is it will continue after break. I will keep an eye out. My students are pretty quick to point out when the lights change color! :)"
Randy Tran commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"If you find that your lamp is shutting off after you get back from Spring Break, let us know which of those green lights are on if any of them turn off. Also, if all 4 of them are on, check the base of the projector itself, if that green light next…"
"We changed the light & that seems to have fixed the problem for now. We're on Spring Break, so we'll have to keep checking after our return. I did have the tech people remove the plastic so I could see the 4 lights. I'll let…"
"What does the fraction maker actually do? I tried to use it in Notebook, but it didn't do anything on my computer."
Pam Snodgrass commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"Yes, I've had this exact same problem. Luckily, my LCD projector is still under warranty, so I got a replacement for it. Here's what my building computer tech and I decided... It seemed to be automatically shutting itself off due to…"
Randy Tran commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"Sounds like a bad lamp, or a faulty lamp ballast (This is what fires up the lamp in the Unifi). I'm thinking this is a Unifi 35? If so there will be some status lights (4 green LEDs) on the bottom of the base of the projector that is attached…"
Mr. B (Mark the Trainer) commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Smartboard Issues"heater in your room making the projector overheat and shutoff? Not uncommon for ceiling projectors. ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE with the Unifi..?"
Smartboard Issues
Over the past week, my Smartboard has been shutting itself off (while connected to my laptop). My laptop is set not to go to sleep, so that isn't the issue. I have had the district tech people in, but so far we haven't had luck. They have: updated software, and unscrewed some part of the Unifi section of the board then put it back together. Still no luck. The lights stay green mostly, but the screen just goes blank. We're trying the light bulb next, but I don't have much hope. Anyone?See More

Mr. B (Mark the Trainer) commented on Colleen Meulstee's blog post Getting Smart Response"Colleen, a 'pre-req' for using Smart Response is that you must have a comfortable working knowledge of Notebook 10 software. So my only advice is, if you are NOT using Notebook, you need to start now and/or seek training. Excited for ya!"

So exciting, I put in a grant and am now going to be receiving the Smart Response clickers for my 5th grade inclusion classroom. Anyone have any suggestions for ways to start off on the right foot when I get them?
