7.2 Troubleshooting Display Problems

This section contains some symptoms that may be encountered in the displays. This list does
not include every possible symptom or solution but does represent common situations and
simple steps to resolve them. The solutions are given in priority order so try the first solution
first.

Troubleshooting may require removal and replacement of modules. Refer to Section 6.1 for
instructions on this procedure. When replacing modules, make sure that the power and
signal cables are reconnected correctly and the latches are tightly closed.

Module and LED problems

One or more LEDs are not lighting

• Check/replace the ribbon cables on the module.
• Check for bent pins on module jacks.

• Check/replace the ribbon cables on the module.
• Check for bent pins on module jacks.
