Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Gaimoo GM200 projector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No Power / Does Not Turn On	Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the projector and a working power outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional.
No Image / Blank Screen	Verify the projector is powered on. Check the input source. Ensure the correct HDMI or USB input is selected. Ensure the connected device (laptop, TV stick) is powered on and outputting a signal. Adjust the focus wheel.
Blurry Image	Adjust the focus wheel until the image is sharp. Ensure the projection surface is flat and smooth. Check the projection distance; it should be within 3-18 feet.
Distorted Image (Trapezoid Shape)	The projector has auto keystone correction. If still distorted, manually adjust keystone in settings. Ensure the projector is as perpendicular to the screen as possible.
No Sound / Low Sound	Increase the volume on both the projector and the connected source device. If using external speakers, ensure they are properly connected and powered on. Check Bluetooth connection if using wireless audio. Some users report low built-in speaker volume; consider connecting external speakers via Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack for better audio.
Remote Control Not Working	Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and not depleted. Point the remote directly at the projector's IR receiver. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the projector.
Wi-Fi Connection Issues	Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and functioning. Re-enter the Wi-Fi password carefully. Move the projector closer to the Wi-Fi router. Restart both the projector and the router.
