Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Q. Device Installer can't find my switch. Make sure that the serial connections are wired correctly, tx to rx, rx to tx and ground to ground. If using a USB adapter, try removing it and plugging it in to a different USB port on the PC. Make sure the PC is connected to the PC communications port and not the display's communication port. Q. My display device does not respond to button presses. Make sure the system is configured for the correct display device.
