Confirm that the 4-wire cable (and 2-wire cable, if present) is connected to the interactive whiteboard’s controller module. If necessary, complete additional troubleshooting with the guidance of SMART Support using SMART Board Diagnostics. Confirm that the 4-wire cable (and 2-wire cable, if present) is connected between the interactive whiteboard and the interactive whiteboard’s controller module.
Resolving projector issues Resolving projector errors System administrators can resolve the following projector errors on their own prior to contacting SMART Support. Performing initial troubleshooting on your projector will reduce the time of a support call. Your projector stops responding If your projector stops responding, perform the following procedure.
If replacing the lamp module doesn’t resolve the issue, put the projector into Standby mode, disconnect the power cable, and then contact your authorized SMART reseller. The projector Power and Service lights are off If the projector Power and Service lights are both off, one of the following issues is occurring: There was a power outage or a power surge.
If a video source signal is not detected, out of range of the projector’s support video modes or the signal is being switched to a different device or input, the projector doesn’t show a source signal and instead displays the SMART logo on a blue screen. smarttech.com/kb/170510...

Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet, and then wait at least 60 seconds. Connect the power cable, and then turn on the projector. If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue, contact your authorized SMART reseller. The image from your connected laptop computer isn’t projected Laptop computer settings can interfere with projector operations.
Use the instructions in the included SMART Board 685ix2 interactive whiteboard systems installation instructions (smarttech.com/kb/170472) to eliminate most image alignment issues. The projector image can slip if the projector is moved often or installed in a location prone to vibration, such as next to a heavy door.
If you're using an HDMI video input on the projector, don’t use any DVI to HDMI adapters, because they don’t transfer audio from the DVI source to the HDMI input on the projector. If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Resolving network communication issues If you don’t have network access, perform the following procedure to troubleshoot your system.
IP address field. Enter this IP address into your browser or SNMP agent. If you still don’t have network access, contact your network administrator.
