Troubleshooting If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below. 1 Are the external power supplies that came with the product connected and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external power supply. 2 Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation? If not, restart them.
Troubleshooting 6 Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example, connect your HDMI cables between a source and monitor that you know works to see if the cable is functioning.
