Risoluzione dei problemi

• Nessuna uscita video o audio: If you are not getting video or audio on your TV, try connecting the Compute Stick to a different HDMI port on your TV. Ensure the TV input is set to the correct HDMI source.
• Screen Overscan (Stretched Picture): Some TVs may stretch the picture, causing parts of the display to be cut off. This is known as "overscan." To fix this, access your TV's picture settings (often under "Screen" or "Display Area") and look for options like "Full Pixel," "Just Scan," or "Screen Fit." Refer to your TV's instruction manual or search online for specific instructions for your TV model.
• Problemi di prestazioni: The Compute Stick is designed for everyday use and light tasks. If experiencing slow performance, close unnecessary applications. While capable of some gaming, it is not intended for high-performance gaming.
• Problemi di alimentazione: Always use the included power adapter. Using an adapter with insufficient amperage or connecting to a TV's USB port for power may lead to instability or unexpected shutdowns, especially under load.
