No input or blank screen
Step One: Check if the recording device (QNAP) is turned on. If it is not turned on, go ahead and power it on. If your QNAP is powering on, it could take up to 10 minutes for it to boot back completely. Don't panic if it takes its time!
The photo below is the standard model of QNAP but it does vary in colour and size.

Step Two: If your QNAP is on but the live monitor is still not working, ensure that the wiring is correct. In either HDMI port 1 or two, there will be an HDMI cord plugged in. Ensure that it is securely plugged in. Additionally, follow that cord and ensure that it is securely plugged in on your monitor as well.
Step Three: Troubleshoot the live monitor.
ensure that it is powered on
check the input - it should be set to either VGA or HDMI
Step Four: Reboot the HDMI/VGA adapter.
find the VGA/HDMI adapter on the cord between the QNAP and the monitor.
unplug both sides of the cord and wait 20-30 seconds
