6. Aluratek Digital Photo Frame Blank Screen

If your Aluratek digital photo frame is showing a blank screen while troubleshooting for problems, you may need to check your memory card placement. This memory card is important for displaying the media properly on the screen which is why it should be carefully inserted in its position.  

Also, make sure to check the USB connection to the device so that it is secured and safe from any loose connections as this may also cause the screen to appear blank. This USB connection is usually important when you want to add pictures to the photo frame from your computer. There may be issues while doing this transfer so it is important to understand the right way of transferring files using a USB. Follow the steps below for successful USB file transfer:

1. Use a USB cable to connect your computer to the Aluratek digital photo frame.

4. Once the pictures are transferred successfully, click on eject or safely remove hardware. This will disconnect the USB from the computer and you may pull away the USB cable.

Moreover, sometimes due to viewing high-resolution media and pictures, there may be a slight time delay before the picture is fully displayed on screen. During this time interval, the screen may appear blank which is no reason to worry. You can simply wait for some time to see whether the picture appears eventually.
