Freshwater uses several types of devices for different projects. The following troubleshooting steps are for SoC (System on a Chip) screens. These devices are frequently used for menu boards, directories, and other simple setups. If your screen doesn't have a media player or other devices hooked up, it's likely a Zeta Screen. 

Screen Showing No Signal

  • Reboot the screen using the following methods:
    1. Use an LG remote to turn the screen off, then back on. If unsuccessful, move to next step.
    2. Use the power button on the screen to turn the screen off and back on. If unsuccessful, move to next step.
    3. Unplug the screen from power for about 10 seconds then plug it back in.
  • After the reboot, if the screen is still showing No Signal after a few minutes, try using an LG remote and pressing the home button. You should see the ZetaDisplay Application as an option. Select ZetaDisplay.
  • If the screen is failing to open Zeta upon reboot frequently, you can check your settings using the steps below:
    • Press the Gear (Settings)
    • Go to EZ Settings
    • Select the Purple Icon called "SI Server Settings"
    • Make sure Application Launch Mode is set to Local
    • Save settings and reboot

Screen Black and Not Showing Content

    1. Use an LG remote to turn the screen off, then back on. If unsuccessful, move to next step.
    2. Use the power button on the screen to turn the screen off and back on. If unsuccessful, move to next step.
    3. Unplug the screen from power for about 10 seconds then plug it back in.
