Troubleshooting

An app or feature is missing or not available.

• The apps and features available depend on the iQ appliance model.

  Identify your iQ appliance model

• The iQ system software may not include that feature or app.

• The app may have moved.

  • Screen Share and Input are at the bottom of the Home screen.

  • SMART Whiteboard and Browser are the in the Apps Library.

• The app is not enabled.

The iQ apps and features do not appear when the display is turned on.

• The SMART Board 6000, 6000 Pro, or MX series interactive display’s input source is not the iQ appliance. Make sure the correct input is selected.

• Wait for a minute after first turning on the display or switching the input source to the iQ appliance. This delay may be longer immediately after upgrading the iQ system software.

• The iQ appliance has stopped responding during startup or after a system software update. Turn off the display, unplug the power cable and wait at least 30 seconds before reconnecting the power cable and turning on the display.

There is no content from the HDMI video out receptacle.

• The connected HDMI sync device (for example, a display, video splitter, video extender or video capture system) may not support High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

  Make sure the sync device is able to receive and display HDMI content that is protected by HDCP. For more information, see SMART Board interactive flat panels and High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

When updating the iQ system software with a USB drive, the update process doesn’t start.

• The iQ system software version already installed may be newer than or the same version as the version on the USB drive.

  Compare the version number of the current iQ system software with the version number of the upgrade file on the USB drive.

• Follow the installation instructions provided on SMART’s website when updating the iQ system software.

  Tips 

  • Make sure the USB drive is FAT32 formatted.

  • Make sure the file has not been renamed or unzipped. The file should be copied to the USB drive unmodified.

  • Make sure the file is located in the root folder on the USB drive.

  • For SMART Board 7000 and 7000 Pro series interactive displays:

    • Make sure the USB drive is inserted in the convenience panel on the display’s frame.

    • After inserting the USB drive in the convenience panel, switch to the Whiteboard app.

  • For SMART Board 6000 and 6000 Pro series interactive displays, Make sure the USB drive is inserted in the USB receptacle on the display’s frame or to a USB receptacle on the iQ appliance, and not in a connected computer’s USB receptacle or extension cable.

After downloading the iQ system software update file from SMART’s website, you receive an error message when you try to extract it.

• You don’t need to extract the downloaded update file. Copy it as-is to the USB drive.

The Restart button doesn’t appear after you’ve inserted a USB drive that contains the update file.

• If you are trying to reinstall the same version, use Factory Reset instead:

  • Factory Reset for SMART Board 7000R and 7000R Pro series interactive displays.

  • Factory Reset for SMART Board 6000S and 6000S Pro series interactive displays.

  • Factory Reset for SMART Board MX (V2) and MX (V2) Pro series interactive displays.

  • Factory Reset for SMART Board MX series interactive displays.

  • For AM30 iQ appliance: kapp-iq-update-#.##.##.zip

  • For AM40 iQ appliance: am40-update-#.##.##.zip

  • For AM50 iQ appliance: am50-update-#.##.##.zip

  • For SMART Board 7000-V2 and 7000-V2 Pro series: iqh811-update-#.#.####.bin
