    How to troubleshoot a start problem on Promega Laboratory Equipment?
    • J
      Jacob WadeAug 31, 2025
      If you encounter a start problem due to an invalid value, make sure to select at least one well on the plate map. If the problem is protocol validation, ensure the multiwell plate was inserted and is properly seated. If you cannot connect to the instrument, check if the Tablet PC is connected, turned ON, or turn ON the instrument. If the error persists, contact Promega Technical Services.
