# Run Diagnostic on Unavailable Device

> Use the student device diagnostics page to identify and resolve connection issues from a student's tile in GoGuardian Teacher.

A student's tile can show a connection problem, such as "Device Unavailable," that prevents you from reviewing their activity. As the teacher, you can run the diagnostic test by clicking the **Troubleshoot** link on the student's tile to open the diagnostics page and start the test.

## Run the Diagnostic Test

1. Click the **Troubleshoot** link on the student's tile in your Live Session. A six-digit code appears on your screen.
2. On the diagnostics page, enter the six-digit code to connect the test to the student's device. Confirm the account listed under **Signed In As** matches the student's school-issued email. If it doesn't, have the student sign in with the correct account before continuing.
3. Click **Run Diagnostic Test**.
4. Review the results under **Diagnostic Results**.

## Review Troubleshooting Results

The diagnostics page checks four areas and reports each as a pass or an issue.

### Account Sign-In

**Student Account Signed In** confirms the student is signed into their school-issued account. If the page instead shows **Incorrect Account Signed In**, the student is signed into a personal, guest, or another student's account.

**Fix:** Have the student sign out and sign back in using their school account.

### Device Performance

**Device Performance** confirms the device has enough available memory to maintain a stable connection. If the page instead shows **Low Device Performance**, the device is using too much memory, which may be affecting the connection.

**Fix:** Have the student close unnecessary browser tabs and windows.

### IT Environment

**IT Environment** confirms nothing on the network is blocking GoGuardian's extensions. If the page instead shows **IT Admin Action Required**, an ad blocker or firewall is interfering with the connection.

**Fix:** Click **Send Report to IT Admin** to send the diagnostic report to your IT department for further troubleshooting.

### GoGuardian Systems

**GoGuardian Systems** confirms GoGuardian's back-end services are reachable. If the page instead shows **GoGuardian Support Action Required**, the test could not determine the exact cause of the connection failure.

**Fix:** Click **Send Report to GoGuardian Support** to send the diagnostic data in a support ticket.

### No Issues Found

If every check passes, the page shows **No issues found** with all four checks marked green.

<Note>
  If the diagnostics page shows no issues but the student's tile still shows a connection problem, the issue may be temporary. Have the student refresh the page, or contact GoGuardian Support if the tile doesn't update.
</Note>

## Confirm the Connection Is Restored

After the student applies a fix, have them refresh their tile or rejoin the session. The tile updates from "Device Unavailable" to the student's live screen once GoGuardian reconnects. If a report was sent to your IT admin or GoGuardian Support, the fix may take longer, since it depends on their response.
