7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NGTeco Triple Screen Extender, refer to the following common solutions:

• Screen Flickering or Unresponsive: This often indicates insufficient power. Connect an external power supply to the extender. Ensure you are using a 100W certified cable and adapter if utilizing PD pass-through.

• Display Orientation Issues: Adjust the display orientation (Landscape/Portrait) in your operating system's display settings.
