-Good troubleshooting skills are important in the DIY world because your project is probably a one-of-a-kind activity. Nobody else on the planet has the same setup that you do, so do everything you can to learn the ''concepts'' behind the troubleshooting suggestions provided here so that you can apply them to your situation. In some cases you may find a literal solution to a specific issue but don't count on it. Think bigger. Think outside the box.
+Good troubleshooting skills are essential in the DIY hobby because every display is unique. Even when two people use similar hardware, differences in wiring, network configuration, power distribution, firmware, and environmental conditions can produce very different results.
