Hello, I have the IBUYPOWER Snowblind model 956. Here's my experience with getting the side display panel working. On the rear of the PC at the top there should be a button to turn on the Leds (Lighting). If your video card has a DVI Output connect it; connect the other end DVI To the Input Side Panel input. DVI---To---DVI cable. I had a DVI---To---HDMI Cable so I connected the HDMI end to the Back of the Video Card and the DVI to the Side Panel Input. The Side LCD Panel can be treated like it's another monitor. I downloaded and installed a safe freeware application rainmeter [https://www.rainmeter.net/] which gives you the capability to put 'in-motion' wallpaper on the 'Display 2' panel. NOTE: I downloaded the 4.2 Final Release - r3111 July 8, 2018 not the BETA version. You'll get the hang of it after you play around with it for awhile. IF you have any further questions or need support Contact IBUYPOWER at 1-888-462-3899 for technical support. I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the side panel. The Video output on the MainBoard is disabled although you could probably enable it in the BIOS. To get the correct cable contact iBuyPower for the correct cable or buy a new one. As for the digital codes I had the same problem and had to contact BestBuy support after visiting my local store twice and not getting the issue resolved. Bestbuy digital downloads support had the codes to me within an hour.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hopefully you figured this out. My cable was also very short, so I used an DVI to HDMI cable. Worked like a charm.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to download a program I honestly forgot what it's called and you also have to tell windows that there is a second screen I think the program is called rain drop or something
