Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector using a multimeter. Verify that the power LED indicator is active. Inspect internal fuses if accessible.

Restore correct 24 V DC supply voltage. If supply is correct but display remains blank, the backlight inverter or display panel may be faulty and require replacement.

Panel PC fails to boot into the operating system

Listen for POST beep codes and observe any error messages on screen during startup. Check the Compact Flash card seating and integrity.

Reseat or replace the Compact Flash card. If the OS is corrupted, reinstall the operating system from a recovery image. Verify BIOS settings are correct for the installed storage device.

Touchscreen input is unresponsive or inaccurate

Check if the touchscreen controller is recognized in the operating system device manager. Verify that no physical damage or contamination is present on the screen surface.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the operating system. If calibration fails, update or reinstall the touchscreen driver. Replace the touchscreen overlay if physically damaged.

Ethernet communication not working

Check the Ethernet cable connection and verify the link LED on the RJ45 port is active. Confirm IP address configuration in the operating system network settings.

Replace the Ethernet cable and verify switch port functionality. Reconfigure the IP address settings. If the NIC is not detected, update the network adapter driver or replace the network interface card.

Unit overheating or shutting down unexpectedly

Monitor the internal temperature via BIOS or system monitoring software. Check that ventilation slots are not blocked and ambient temperature is within the 0 to 45 degrees C operating range.

Improve airflow around the panel PC installation. Clean dust from ventilation openings. If a cooling fan is present, verify it is operating correctly and replace if faulty.
