  Returning hardware to Pangolin
 

If you are having problems with your Lasershow Designer system, please check the following items. If you decide your QM32 or QM2000 board should be returned for repair, click here for a return authorization form.

Is the problem with the computer/LD or with the projector?

  • Do the LD and Showtime programs operate normally?

  • In Showtime, load a show with its frames, and use the Preview button to call up the Preview Window. Then play the show to see if it previews OK.
         -- If the show runs fine in the Preview Window, then Showtime is operating fine. The problem is either in the QM board not outputting signals, in the cable(s) going to the projector, or in the projector.
         -- If the show does not run normally, then either you did not load frames, or there is a problem with Showtime or the LD system.

  • Is the problem related to playing music with Showtime 2000? If so, please see this page: Using multimedia in Showtime 2000. If you have an ATI All-in-Wonder video card, see this page: ATI video card fix

Is the problem with the computer or with LD?

  • Install LD on a another computer and see if it works. If so, then the problem is in the first computer. If not, the problem is probably in LD (but also could be something common to both computers).

  • If you have another LD system, install the other QM board in your computer and see if it works. If so, then the problem is with the QM board. If not, the problem is probably in your computer (but could also be in the installed LD software).
