Overview

Introduction

Use this guide to help identify and resolve problems that may occur with your SMART Board 600 series interactive 
whiteboard. This guide assumes that you’re experiencing problems after a period in which the interactive 
whiteboard was working properly.

Most problems result from incorrect cabling, an incorrect computer setting, or software that’s improperly installed or 
configured. Use the flowcharts and tables in this guide to determine which component is causing the problem, and 
then take steps to correct it.

Resetting the Interactive Whiteboard

If your interactive whiteboard is behaving erratically (possibly because of a static discharge or power fade) you may 
be able to restore normal operation by resetting the interactive whiteboard. 

To reset your interactive whiteboard

You can reset the interactive whiteboard completely by disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable. 
This cycles the power off and back on, resetting all components of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

You can also reset only the SC9 controller’s 
microprocessor by pressing its 

Reset

 button with the 

tip of a pen tray pen for less than three seconds. The 

Reset

 button is located behind the lower-right side of 

the interactive whiteboard when viewed from the front.

NOTE:

 If you press and hold the 

Reset

 button for longer 

than three seconds, any saved 4- or 9- point orientation 
data is cleared from the SC9’s memory, and the alignment 
defaults to factory settings. However, 20-point orientation 
data is stored on the computer, so it is retained after a 
reset.
