6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your EDUP IN Monitor Backlight, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights are not turning on or only show red. | Not connected to a computer USB port or software not running/installed. | Ensure the USB connector is securely plugged into a computer's USB port. Download and install the 'Eduplight' desktop application and ensure it is running. The lights default to red without the software. |
| Backlight does not synchronize with screen content properly. | Video/game content does not cover the entire screen; software settings incorrect. | Ensure the video or game is in full-screen mode and covers the entire display area. Check the software settings to confirm 'Video Rhythm Mode' is selected and configured correctly. |
| Adhesive strips are not sticking well. | Monitor surface was not clean or too hot. | Thoroughly clean the monitor surface with the provided cloth before application. If the monitor generates significant heat, consider using additional fixing clips or a stronger adhesive tape (not included) for better security. |
| Software requires account registration/login. | This is a required step for software functionality. | Proceed with account registration and login as prompted by the software. This is necessary to access and control the lighting features. |
| Software causes performance issues on PC. | Software resource usage. | While the software is designed to be efficient, if you experience performance issues during demanding tasks (e.g., gaming), try closing other unnecessary background applications. Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for the software. |
| USB cable is too short. | Standard cable length. | Use one of the included extension cables to reach your computer's USB port. If further length is needed, a standard USB extension cable can be purchased separately. |
