My screen is OFFLINE - what do I do?
ℹ️ There can be several reasons for a screen to have gone "offline". It can be due to power outages, changes in the local network, firewall, etc., or that the hardware is in need of an update.
💡 Most of the time the problem will be solved by a simple restart of the physical screen and possibly of the connected player (PC, Raspberry Pi, Ugoos, Chrome-device etc.) if you use this.
Checklist for offline screen
- 🔌 First, try turning your screen and any connected device off and on, or pull the plug out and put it back in again.
Yes, it can be that simple. 😉 But if a restart doesn't help, check the following:
- Check if the screen is connected to internet.
-
Check if changes have been made in your local network (firewall etc.).
If you need to open firewall access, find more info here.
-
Check if the physical screen needs updating of e.g. firmware or browser version.
Here is a guide for updating firmware on newer Samsung SSSP and webOS (LG).
- Check that the display is started correctly for your type of hardware. 👇
