Troubleshooting

 

Nothing is turning on?
-Make sure the computer is on! The light should be a solid white, not flashing or off

 

 

 

Volume not working?
-Make sure the master volume is turned up and unmuted on the panel.
-Check the volume on the bottom right side of the computer screen.
-Check the volume on the video you are trying to play.
-If you’re using your laptop, go into the audio settings and make sure the correct output is selected!
    -Change Sound Output Settings on Mac
    -Change Sound Output Settings on Windows 11

 

Front TV or projector not displaying?
-Press the “Computer” button again if you are using the in-room computer.
-Press the “HDMI” button again if you are using your own laptop.
-If the front screen still doesn’t turn on, call x5050!

 

Only the left monitor is on?
-Make sure you’re signed into the computer! The right monitor will not turn on if you aren’t signed in.
-Press the “Computer” or “HDMI” button again.

 

Laptop only displaying on the right monitor?
-This is by design! When using your own computer, it will only show on the right screen. The left screen is dedicated to displaying what is on the in-room computer.
