36 | CHAPTER 4 – TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE 
WHITEBOARD
Flowchart 1: Getting started
Your interactive whiteboard isn’t 
receiving power. 
Your interactive whiteboard is receiving 
power but isn’t communicating correctly 
with your computer. 
A flashing green Ready light might be 
normal if you want touch-only operation 
of your interactive whiteboard. If you 
want to use the SMART Board tools or 
the pen tray pens, go to Flowchart 4.
A solid green Ready light indicates 
normal operation. To diagnose problems 
that might occur in other components of 
your interactive whiteboard, see 
Flowchart 5.
If the Ready light is flashing or steady 
amber, the firmware might be updating. 
Wait until it finishes. 
If none of these descriptions applies to the Ready light, contact your next level of 
support.
