Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FOOWIN Portable Monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
No Signal / Black Screen
  • Ensure all cables (power and video) are securely connected.
  • Verify the input source on the monitor's OSD matches your connection (USB-C or HDMI).
  • Check your connected device's display settings to ensure it's configured to output to an external monitor (e.g., extend or duplicate display).
  • Try a different cable or port if available.
Monitor Flickers / Turns Off Randomly
  • This often indicates insufficient power. Ensure you are using a power adapter that provides enough wattage (e.g., 5V/2A or higher).
  • If using a single USB-C cable for power and video, ensure your device's USB-C port can supply enough power. Try connecting an external power source to the monitor's dedicated power input.
  • Reduce monitor brightness if the issue persists, especially when powered solely by a device.
No Audio from Monitor Speakers
  • Check the volume settings on both the monitor's OSD and your connected device.
  • Ensure the audio output on your connected device is set to the FOOWIN monitor.
Image Quality Issues (Blurry, Distorted Colors)
  • Ensure the display resolution on your connected device is set to 1920x1080 (FHD).
  • Check cable connections for looseness or damage.
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings via the monitor's OSD.
