Replacing ScreenCloud OS Hardware

How to request a replacement for a faulty Station P1 Pro running ScreenCloud OS, what evidence to prepare, and how to source a compatible replacement Wi-Fi antenna.

If a Station P1 Pro has failed outright, or its Wi-Fi antenna has been lost or damaged, this article covers what to do. Faulty devices within warranty can be replaced by our support team, and the Wi-Fi antenna is a standard part you can source yourself.


Requesting a replacement for a faulty device

Try troubleshooting first

Work through the troubleshooting steps in ScreenCloud OS Setup Guide before requesting a replacement. Most faults that look terminal are recoverable.

In particular, reflash the device from a micro SD card. This reinstalls ScreenCloud OS from scratch and resolves boot failures, software corruption and devices that stay stubbornly offline. If a device is unresponsive or behaving unpredictably, a reflash is usually the most effective fix.

Warranty

The standard warranty is one year from the date of purchase, unless an extended warranty was bought alongside the device. A replacement can be arranged when the device is faulty, unusable and still within that period.

What to prepare

Have all four of these ready before contacting support. Requests without them take longer to process.

Screen name and ID

The name and screen ID of the device in your ScreenCloud account, if it was paired before the fault occurred. Do not delete the screen until support has reviewed the request.

Proof of purchase

The invoice or receipt for the device.

Video evidence

A clear video showing the fault, for example the device not powering on when connected to power, or not displaying anything when connected to a working display.

Delivery details

The full delivery address and recipient name for the replacement shipment.

Sending your video evidence

Pick whichever method suits the file size.

Replacing the Wi-Fi antenna

The Wi-Fi antenna supplied with the Station P1 Pro is a standard part. ScreenCloud does not sell replacements, but compatible antennas are widely available from third-party retailers, often in multi-packs.

Compatible antenna specifications

Any replacement needs to meet all three of the following.

  • Connector type: RP-SMA (male), with no centre pin

  • Gain: 3 dBi

  • Cable length, if the antenna has one: under 1.5 metres

The antenna is only needed for Wi-Fi. A device on Ethernet will run without it attached.
