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, 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. 👇
