How to Fix a Black Screen on MAG522

A black screen is a frequent issue. Don’t worry, you can usually fix it quickly.

• 
  Check Your Connections:
  
  Make sure the HDMI cable is firmly plugged into both the MAG522 and your TV. Try a different HDMI port on your TV.
• 
  Restart Everything:
  
  Turn off the MAG522 and your TV. Unplug them from power for 60 seconds. Plug them back in and turn them on.
• 
  Check the Power Light:
  
  Look at the light on the front of the MAG522. If it’s not on, the power cable might be faulty. Try a different cable.

  Try a Different HDMI Cable:
  
  Your HDMI cable might be broken. Test with another cable if you have one.
