7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BRAIDOL Q3, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display on Screen:

      - Verify that your display device is set to the correct HDMI input source.
      - Try connecting the dongle to a different HDMI port or display device to rule out port issues.
• Unstable Connection or Lag:
      - Ensure your transmitting device (laptop, phone) is within the recommended 16 feet (5 meters) range of the dongle.
      - Minimize interference from other wireless devices (e.g., routers, cordless phones) by moving them further away.
      - Check if your device's Wi-Fi signal is strong and stable.
• Cannot Connect to the Dongle:
      - Restart both your transmitting device and the dongle (by unplugging and replugging the power).
      - Confirm you are selecting the correct device name ("RENKCHIP-XXXX") and entering the correct password ("12345678").
      - For Android, ensure Miracast or equivalent function is enabled. For iOS/Mac, ensure AirPlay is active.
• Black Screen or No Video/Audio from Certain Apps:
      - This is typically due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) restrictions. As mentioned in Section 6.2, streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, etc., are not supported due to copyright protection. This is normal operation for the device and not a defect.
• Screen Frozen or Disconnects Frequently (Windows 11):
      - Some users have reported connectivity issues with newer Windows platforms. Ensure your Windows drivers are up to date. If issues persist, try restarting the dongle and your PC.
