    I've been using fn + f4 to project laptop screen onto the external monitor without any issues until yesterday. Now when I press fn+f4, the laptop responds, showing the outside monitor picture in the lower right corner, but no projection actually takes place. However, when I go to display properties and change settings to CLONE, projection to the external monitor works but with a very strange color scheme--the laptop screen looks normal but everything on the external monitor is bluish. What could be the issue(s)? Thanks!
