There are various reasons for this to happen, eventually your controller tried to flash the special firmware to the chip and failed for some reason and as a result it saved a "failed attempt" flag and does not try to do it again as it would happen every time hardware-manager is restarted.  There are 2 ways to try to recover the boot animations. We will start with a simple one: Power the panel. Make sure your panel has "RELEASED" status in table above, update Reactor package to the latest version. Also please make sure panel has latest operating system version as well as hardware-manager package. Find out panels IP address and in your browser go to x.x.x.x/tools. (Substitute x with IP of your Panel) Make sure you see "HW Bootscreen Repair" section. Check the status field. Status Boot Animation at Startup  Comments OK YES Everything is good, no need to do anything OK NO Click on "Reset Hardware Boot Animation Update" and restart hardware-manager when asked Failed to update NO Click on "Reset Hardware Boot Animation Update" and restart hardware-manager when asked Unknown YES/NO This means your panel or specific version of your panel does not have a Bootscreen animation firmware available. If one has clicked "Reset Hardware Boot Animation Update" after restarting hardware manager one should see "Wait Please!" message on all of the screens of the panel! It is crucial not to interfere or power cycle the panel at this stage , as it can "brick" the chip being flashed without the possibility to recover. Once flashing the chip is done one will see a "short"(5 sec) animation and controller will switch to its normal operation.  Try to power cycle your panel - the boot animation should be running the first ~30 seconds while main operating system is booting. Another "walk-around" solution would be the following (might be the way to if your panel does not have Reactor due to Licensing constrains): Make sure your panel has internet access. Goto 'Settings' page. Panel should have the latest Operating system version or at least v1.1 . So please check the version you have and update if needed. (Also backup your Reactor projects , as we will perform full file system erase further.) Press and hold [Shift] button on your keyboard and click "Reset" button with the mouse. You should see the "HARD System Reset" dialog and click 'Confirm' if you wish to proceed. In approximately 30-40 seconds panel should restart and one should see "Wait Please!" message on all of the screens of the panel!
