Device Issues

The most common issue with a media player is connectivity, relating to either Power or Internet.

Black Screen or No Signal

The device might not be powered on, is in sleep mode, or it may be powered on and working properly but the HDMI connection may have come loose or is faulty.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check if device is online on the Display app Manage page under Device Status. See Figure 1 below.

    1. If Online, continue to Step 2​

    2. If Offline, continue to Step 3​

  2. Attempt to Reboot Screen which is under the dropdown menu ••• (ellipsis) for each screen. See process below.

  3. Confirm the proper input is selected on the TV.​

  4. Check the HDMI cable on the device and attempt to disconnect and reconnect.​

  5. Reboot the device by pulling the DC cable from the device and plugging it back in.​

  6. For P3 / SKP3 devices: Press the reset button located within the Audio port (labeled as AV on the device). A paperclip is suggested to accomplish this.​

  7. If still unable to display, please contact Customer Support.

Failed Wifi Scan

When attempting to reconnect to Wifi, an error message will say “Failed to scan for Wifi”. If this message persists it may be due to a faulty Wifi chip on the device. This situation is rare, however, the Wifi chip can fail. ​

  2. If still unable to connect and still seeing Failed to Scan for Wifi, please contact Customer Support.

Performing a Reboot

On the Manage overview, select the ••• (ellipsis) menu on the far right.

From the dropdown, select Reboot Screen.

A pop up will appear.

Select Reboot.​

The Reboot process can take up to 2 minutes to complete.

On screen, the device will cycle through a series of screens, including a countdown screen, and a loading screen.​

When the device has finished rebooting it will resume playing previously associated content.
