If the touchscreen of your ThermoFisher Scientific Laboratory Equipment is black, first, make sure it's not just in sleep mode by touching the screen. If that doesn't work, verify the instrument is powered on using the power switch on the rear panel. If it still doesn’t power on, ensure the instrument is properly plugged in.
How to reset a forgotten PIN on ThermoFisher Scientific QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR Laboratory Equipment instrument profile?
If you've forgotten your PIN for your instrument profile on ThermoFisher Scientific Laboratory Equipment and you are not an administrator, consult “Manage all instrument profiles“ on page 28. If you are an administrator and forgot the PIN, another administrator can reset it. If there is no other administrator profile, you must restore factory defaults (see “Restore factory defaults“ on page 31).
Why does my ThermoFisher Scientific QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR say insufficient disk space?
If you receive an insufficient disk space message on your ThermoFisher Scientific Laboratory Equipment, it means there isn't enough space to save your run. To fix this, go to the home screen, touch Settings, then Run History, then Manage. From there, you can delete or transfer experiments from the instrument to free up space.
