In the ISLI classrooms, the Smartboard power is controlled by the power button on the left of the panel at the bottom of the Smartboard.
When the power is off, the button is lit amber, and when it is on, the button is lit green. When you switch on the Smartboard, the power button will flash green for a minute while the projector lamp warms up, and will become solid green when it is ready.
Occasionally, while the Smartboard is switched off, the power button on the panel does not respond when pressed. This is an intermittent “quirk” of the panel itself, and it must be reset before it will start working again. To do this:
- Locate the mains power socket that the Smartboard is plugged into
- This is usually on the wall behind the Smartboard, or below it on the trunking.
- Switch off the mains sockets
- Count to 10
- Switch the sockets back on again
- Press the Smartboard power button.
The power button should respond as normal, turning green and flashing, and the projector will power up.
If you are still unable to power on the Smartboard after this procedure, contact IT Service Desk to report the fault.
