Replacing a Driver

1. Access the internal components using the appropriate Front/Rear Access method

described in Section 3.5.

2. Disconnect all power and signal connectors from the driver by squeezing together the

locking tabs and pulling the connectors free.

Note:
It may be helpful to label the cables to know which cable goes to which
connector when reattaching a driver.

3. Remove the four nuts holding the driver in place.
4. Position a new driver over the screws and tighten the nuts.
5.
Reconnect all power/signal connectors.
6.
Ensure the driver is set to the correct address for the TNMC function.
7.
Power up and test the scoreboard/display to see if the problem has been resolved.

3.7 Modules

Each module assembly is made up of a module housing (containing LEDs and the driver) and
a louver assembly. Individual components such as louvers can be removed for service, but
Daktronics recommends that the module be kept intact and that the entire assembly be sent in
for repair or replacement.

Replacing Modules

To replace a module from the front:

1. Follow the steps in the Front Access method described in Section 3.5.
2. Carefully disconnect all power and signal cables. It may be helpful to label the cables

to know which cable goes to which connector when reattaching.

3. Position a new module on the front of the TNMC frame and reconnect all power and

signal cables.

4. Re-latch the fasteners.
5.
Power up and test the scoreboard/display to see if the problem has been resolved.
