Quick Tips for Hardware troubleshooting

Computer

If your computer will not power on:

1. Unplug the computer for 30 seconds, then plug it back into the same outlet.
2. If that doesn't work, plug into a different outlet.
3. If neither of the outlets work, replace the power cable on the computer with the power cable from another computer that does power on.
4. If none of the above works, contact RTS Tech Support at 1-865-212-9703 or support@rts-solutions.com.

Touchscreen Monitor

If your monitor needs calibrated see: Calibrating your Touch Screen

If you are having issues with your touchscreen not registering input:

1. Begin by cleaning the screen with appropriate cleaner.
