Explanation
The error message "HDMI2 no signal found" indicates that the projector is set to an input source that is not currently receiving a video signal. Input source selection is one of the first items to verify when an external display shows a black screen but powers on correctly. Many projectors have multiple HDMI ports (HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.). If the PC is connected to a different HDMI port than the one currently selected, the projector will display a "no signal" message even though the cable and device are functioning properly. Changing the input source to match the connected HDMI port resolves the issue quickly.
