Device not connected
If the tray says the panel is missing, or the screen stays black:
- Unplug the panel, wait a few seconds, plug it back into a different USB port on the PC.
- Check Device Manager → the panel → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids. You want
VID_1A86&PID_5722. - Avoid unpowered hubs and long cheap extension cables for the first test.
- Quit PanelOS from the tray, open it again, then pick a theme once more.
- Power-cycle the panel (unplug USB) if only a strip of the image appears.
