  • Q
    Abnormal picture position/color/color discrepancies are observed within the cabinet.
    A
    Possible Causes:
    1. Cabinet’s dual/multi-opening/customized HUB port settings do not match the cabinet design.
    2. Receiver card operating mode (incorrect selection of data grouping mode).

    Troubleshooting Steps:
    Re-edit the cabinet program HUB port/HUB address.
  • Q
    After a power outage and subsequent reboot, the screen may exhibit aberrant coloration or an inability to retain programmed settings.
    A
    Possible Causes :
    1. Failure to permanently store the program settings.
    2. If specific receiver cards are affected, it could indicate inherent faults within those cards themselves.

    Troubleshooting Steps:

  • Q
    .LED screen displaying black screen.
    A
    Possible Causes:
    1. Partial module black screen: Possible module damage, malfunction of power chip.
    2. Possible issues with the adapter board interface.
    3. Possible malfunction of the receiving card, abnormal display of power/signal lights.
    4. Malfunctioning sending card network port, no image output.

    Troubleshooting Steps:
    1. Replace (repair) the module; swap modules to isolate and repair faults.
    2. Replace the adapter board or repair problematic interfaces.
    3. Swap receiving cards to confirm faults; replace receiving cards.
    4. Swap sending card network ports to confirm faults; replace sending cards.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. Partial module black screen may be caused by calibration activation.
    2. Possible power failure or loose power terminal wire connection.
    3. No signal from the front-end video source.
    4. Receiving card brightness set to 0.

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Disable calibration (if calibration is activated without calibration values, the system will send data with a value of 0 to the screen, resulting in a black screen).
    2. Check or replace the power supply.
    3. Detect sending card signal or swap DVI cables to confirm video source status.
    4. Screen control - adjust brightness values for all channels.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. Poor network cable connection.
    2. If black screen occurs by network port unit, it may be due to network port communication issues.
    3. If black screen occurs by cabinet unit, partial cabinets have black screens, it may be due to unstable connection between cabinets or faulty cables or network ports.
    4. Possibly inappropriate version number of the receiving card’s program in the cabinet.

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Detect receiving card information and check network communication status; plug and unplug network cables.
    2. Check if the receiving card in the cabinet blinks. Try replacing the receiving card. If it does not blink, it’s a cable issue; if it blinks, it’s a corresponding sending card network port issue.
    3. Check if the receiving card in the black screen cabinet blinks. Determine the fault location based on blinking and non-blinking positions. Replace cabinet receiving cards or cables.
    4. Check hardware/software version consistency, detect receiving cards, and upgrade to a unified program version.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. If black screen occurs only on one or two cabinets, it may be caused by receiving card faults.
    2. If black screen occurs on a module basis, it may be due to poor cable connection/module or cable interface pin damage.
    3. Possible power line failure.
    4. Cable connected to the output port (common mistake for installation beginners).

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Swap suspected faulty receiving cards with those displaying normal operation. If anomalies persist with the receiving card’s movement, it indicates receiving card faults (without other parameter settings issues). Replace receiving cards.
    2. Replace cables or modules.
    3. Check or replace power lines, swap modules.
    4. Check the input and output interface markings on the modules.
  • Q
    Screen displaying pixelation.
    A
    Possible Causes:
    1. Possible malfunction of corresponding modules.
    2. Overload on the receiving card, confirming loading capacity (T6/FPGA).
    3. Cable interference.
    4. Electromagnetic interference (often observed with magnetically attached modules).

    Troubleshooting Steps:
    1. Swap modules to isolate the issue.
    2. Add a receiving card.
    3. Length exceeding 1.2 meters is prone to issues.
    4. Separate the affected module from the metal framework.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. Cable or network line issues.
    2. Network port controlling area overload.
    3. Incorrect screen parameters on some receiving cards.
    4. Malfunctioning sending card.

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Replace or swap cables or network lines.
    2. Check the network port controlling area, resend the screen splicing program, and ensure consistency in width and height loading.
    3. Verify consistency in screen parameters.
    4. Replace malfunctioning sending card network ports.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. Possible mismatch in receiving card programming leading to pixelation.
    2. Network port or sending card loading exceeding maximum capacity.
    3. If pixelation is observed in only a few screens, it may indicate receiving card faults.
    4. For screens that have undergone calibration, disabling calibration may restore normal operation, indicating potential loss of calibration coefficients.

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Inspect receiving cards, check programming, and upgrade to correct receiving card programs.
    2. Calculate the loading for each network port or sending card. If exceeding 650,000 pixels or the sending card loading, consider modifying network connection schemes or using sending cards with larger load capacities. If unsuccessful, use software for pixel compression.
    3. Swap suspected faulty receiving cards with those displaying normal operation. If anomalies persist with the receiving card’s movement, it indicates receiving card faults necessitating replacement.
    4. Locate backup coefficients for re-transmission or disable calibration. Avoid using calibration coefficients for the entire screen.

    Additional Possible Causes:
    1. If issues occur within a single sending card’s range, investigate possible front-end signal delivery issues (hardware DVI port problems).
    2. Pin damage leading to data group pixelation.

    Further Troubleshooting:
    1. Swap signal lines and outputs with other functional sending cards. If issues persist with hardware movement, it indicates hardware faults requiring replacement.
    2. Replace interfaces, receiving cards, or adapter boards.
