Fixes for electronic problems

  1. Is it plugged in?
  2. Is it turned on?
  3. Have you restarted it?

Let’s get deeper.

1. Check connections. Make sure your cables are snugly plugged in at both sides: the source side and the component side.

2. Restart the components again. Unplug the component(s) in question from the unit itself NOT the wall outlet.

3. Wait 3-5 minutes. This gives the unit time to cool down and for the electricity to dissipate.

4. Plug back in.

Still have the same issue? Do you have a managed powers solution (Panamax Blubolt or OvrC?)? We can do the reset your system for you remotely!

Fix #1
Check for a temporary service interruption.

  • There may be an outage in your area. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try to get on the Internet again.
  • In some cases, service may be interrupted due to non-payment.

Fix #2
Unplug the modem, then plug it back in.

  • Unplug the modem’s power cord. Not sure which is the power cord? Look here
    .Unplug power cord
  • Count to 30, which lets the modem power down.
  • Plug it back in.
    Plug in power cord
  • Wait three minutes for the modem to initialize the connection.
  • Now unplug your Router.
  • Wait 2 minutes for the Router to initialize the connection.
  • Open your web browser. Then try to open a reliable web page, such as www.google.com.

Fix #4
Refresh your computer’s Internet signal (IP address)

When your computer connects to the Internet, it is assigned an Internet Protocol address (IP address), usually a different address each time you connect. If you’re experiencing slow or no signal, the problem may be resolved by refreshing your computer’s IP address.

IR Placement

The most common issue is that the cable box is not controllable. If you have any RF or IP controllable system (you can operate your system without pointing at the components, IR Emitters are part of the control system.

Note: cable boxes, media / bluray players, have different places where the component receives IR. Best practice to reaffixing the emitter is in one hand, hold the universal remote and press a button that you know has worked. Then slowly run the IR emitter over the front of the component until the device reacts. Use a hot glue gun or a piece of tape to reaffix the emitter to its appropriate place.
