Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the PC and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. Check if the power LED indicator on the PC is lit.

No display output

Verify that the monitor is powered on and correctly connected to the PC's DisplayPort or HDMI port. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Try a different cable or monitor if possible.
