Black Screen after Booting Up

If someone could help me out

After the bootup sequence and the screen goes black, have you tried your Alt key? If MM is running, and displaying a blank screen, you might get lucky. The Alt key should drop a menu down from the top. If it does, you won’t see your mouse until you move it all the way up into the menu bar, then you can quit the mirror from the leftmost menu.

Good luck

@nickymac12 are you able to connect remotely? over SSH? if so you might be able to check MM’s logs to see if anything went wrong

[nickymac12]

@Mykle1 I tried the alt key but nothing happened. The Windows key won’t pull down the menu either.

@j.e.f.f I usually use VNC Connect to connect to it remotely, but since I moved into a new house it isn’t connected to the new wifi so it won’t work.

@nickymac12

So the mirror has no internet connection?

[j.e.f.f]

@nickymac12 maybe try connecting a LAN cable. it should work with DHCP by default

[nickymac12]

@j.e.f.f I was able to connect but it still shows a black screen and I still cannot control it.

[j.e.f.f]

@nickymac12 is SSH enabled? if so try to connect that way. That will allow you to check MM’s logs

[nickymac12]

I am able to connect via SSH now. How do I check the MM’s logs?

@nickymac12 type pm2 logs mm
