Section 7:

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

This section defines the diagnostic LEDs located on the controller, MLC, and temperature sensor.

Troubleshooting tips are also provided for solving display problems.

7.1 Safety Precautions

Disconnect power when

servicing the display.

Do not modify the display

structure or attach any

panels or coverings to the

display without written

consent of Daktronics.

7.2 Controller

Diagnostics

The controller, shown in

Figure 29, receives

communication from the

computer and sends it to the

MLCs which output it to the

modules. The LEDs on the

controller show whether the

power and communication

signal are working properly.

One or two modules must be

removed to see the

controller. Refer to Section 6:

for instructions on how to

access display interior.

Remember to disconnect

power to the display before

accessing the interior. However, after removing the modules and wires are found to be safe,

power can be turned on to view the diagnostic LEDs.

A steady flash of about once per second on the DS2 “Run” LED indicates that the controller is

working properly. An increased flash rate indicates that the controller is booting.
