Before logging a support ticket, try these simple troubleshooting steps that resolve most issues without needing technical help.
Applies to:
All CommBox Products
Step 1: Restart Your Device
-
Turn off the screen or display using the power button.
-
Unplug the device from the wall socket.
-
Wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
🔁 A quick restart can resolve temporary glitches or unresponsive behaviour.
Step 2: Check Power and Connections
-
Ensure the power cable is firmly plugged in at both the device and the wall.
-
Check the power outlet by testing another device.
-
If using a wall bracket or AV cart, confirm nothing is loose or damaged.
🔌 Loose cables are a common cause of display issues.
Step 3: Update Firmware
-
Go to Settings > System > Firmware Update.
-
Check if an update is available and follow the prompts.
💡 Running the latest firmware keeps your display running smoothly and is required for warranty support.

Step 4: Test the Display and Inputs
-
Try using a different HDMI or USB cable.
-
Switch to another HDMI port.
-
Try connecting another device (like a different laptop) to isolate the issue.
📺 If the issue is with the display signal, swapping cables or ports can help identify the problem.
Step 5: Check Network Settings (For Smart/Interactive Models)
-
Go to Settings > Network & Internet.
-
Ensure Wi-Fi is connected or Ethernet is plugged in.
-
Try toggling Wi-Fi off and on again.
🌐 A poor network connection may affect app access, updates, or remote support.
Step 6: Review Setup Guidelines
-
Confirm installation follows the recommended specifications (e.g. correct power supply, proper ventilation, and weight limits).
-
Remove any stickers, writing or permanent markers from the screen or bezel.
🧼 Tampering, incorrect installation, or damage can void your warranty.
