3.4. Troubleshooting
Before calling technical support, please try the following steps for easy troubleshooting.
Q1. My keyboard and/or mouse are locked up. What can I do for troubleshooting without
rebooting the computer and/or KVM?
A1. First, unplug the console keyboard and mouse for a few seconds and plug them back in.
This will re-initialize the console keyboard and mouse, in case an initialization failure of the
console keyboard and mouse has happened. If this doesn't work, unplug the computer modules
PS/2 or USB connections from the computer for few seconds and plug it in again - alternatively
plug the USB connector into to a different USB port. If it is PS2, always connect the mouse
connection first, then the keyboard connection. This should bring back the computer module if
only re-initialization is required. If any of the above does not help then you may have to reboot
the computer for a complete reset of the computer keyboard and mouse.
Q2. My monitor stays dark.
A2. Please check if the computer you want to access is in Standby or power save mode with the
monitor switched off. If so please wake up the computer in the usual way.
The contact information for the LINDY technical support teams can be found on the LINDY
