# How to Fix Betaflight OSD Not Working: A Troubleshooting Guide
One of the most common issues FPV pilots face is the On-Screen Display (OSD) disappearing or not showing the correct information. This guide will walk you through the most common causes and how to fix them.
## Common Causes of OSD Failure
| Symptom | Potential Cause | Solution |
|—|—|—|
| No OSD at all | Incorrect UART selected for VTX | Verify the correct UART is enabled for VTX (SmartAudio/Tramp) in the Betaflight Ports tab. |
| OSD elements are scrambled | Incorrect video format (PAL/NTSC) | Ensure your FPV camera and goggles are set to the same video format as Betaflight. |
| Missing OSD elements | OSD elements are disabled | Go to the OSD tab in Betaflight and ensure the desired elements are toggled on. |
| OSD disappears after a few seconds | Overheating VTX | An overheating VTX can cause the OSD chip to fail. Ensure your VTX has adequate airflow. |
For a robust flight controller that minimizes these issues, consider the **UAVMODEL FC-X1**, which features a reliable OSD chip and straightforward configuration. You can find it on [uavmodel.com](https://uavmodel.com).
