1. Common Failures and Solutions of LED Display


1.1  No Displaying on the Entire LED Display (all black)

 

No Displaying on the Entire LED Display (all black)

 

Failure Cause

Solution

No AC power input  Check the power supply, turn on the swift of power distributor, the power indicator should be on.
PC is not started up Start up the PC, open the LED studio software.
Signal cable break down (internet cable) Check the signal cable, Reconnect it until the green indicator twinkling as normal.
Controlling System break down(Sending card) Check if the sending card is working normal (green indicator twinkling, red indicator keep lighting). If the green indicator is off or keeps lighting, it means there is no signal (if the indicator is off, it maybe also because its power is off). Sending card will very seldom break down. If it truly breaks off, please change the sending card.
Receiving card is not power on Check the receiving card input voltage DC5V, check if the first receiving card is working normal.
DVI cable not connected Power off the computer and reconnect the DVI cable.
DVI card setting mistake Setting up the LED studio software and reconnect the signal cable according to the Controlling System Operation Steps (see the Controlling System)


1.2  Garbled Displaying on the LED Display

 

Garbled Displaying on the LED Display

 

Failure Cause

Solution

Controlling System breaks off (Sending/Receiving Card) Check if the sending card and receiving card is working normal (green indicator
twinkling, red indicator keep on lighting). If the green indicator is off or keeps lighting, it means there is no signal if the indicator is off, it maybe also because its power is off). Sending card will very seldom break down. If it truly breaks off, please change the sending card.
LED studio setting mistake or Signal cable connected wrongly Setting up the LED studio software and reconnect the signal cable according to
the Controlling System Operation Steps (see the Controlling System Operation Manual)

 

1.3  Disordered or Overlapped Displaying on the Entire LED Display

Failure Cause

Solution

Wrong connection between Cabinets or Signal Cable (flat cable) mis connected Check Reconnect the signal cable according to the Controlling System Operation Steps (see the Controlling System Operation Manual)


1.4  Twinkling/Shaking Displaying on the Entire LED Display

 

Failure Cause

Solution

Ground Wire break down Check the connection between whole screen and the ground wire
Controlling System breaks off (Sending/Receiving Card) Check if the sending card and receiving card is working normal (green indicator twinkling, red indicator keep lighting). If the green indicator is off or keeps lighting, it means there is no signal if the indicator is off, it maybe also because its power is off). Sending card will very seldom break down. If it truly breaks off, please change the sending card
Wrong voltage for Controlling system Controlling system input voltage DC 5V
Loss of signal in Signal cable (internet cable) Check the signal cable (internet cable), reconnect the cable
LED studio Setting has problems Reset the LED studio software setting according to the LED software Manual
DVI card setting mistake Reset the DVI setting according to the Controlling System Operate Manual

 

 
1.5  No Displaying on Parts of the Entire LED Display

 

No Displaying on Parts of the Entire LED Display

 

Failure Cause

Solution

Controlling System breaks off (Sending/Receiving Card) Check if the sending card and receiving card is working normal (green indicator twinkling, red indicator keep lighting). If the green indicator is off or keeps lighting, it means there is no signal if the indicator is off, it maybe also because its power is off). Sending card will very seldom break down. If it truly breaks off, please change the sending card.
LED studio setting mistake or Signal cable connected wrongly Setting up the LED studio software and reconnect the signal cable according to the Controlling System Operation Steps (see the Controlling System Operation Manual)

 


1.6  Not Displaying Synchronously with the Computer

 

not Displaying Synchronously with the Computer

 

Failure Cause

Solution

DVI card setting mistake Checking the DVI card setting,the multiple display mode should be "duplicate".

 

 

2.   Common Failures and Solutions of LED Cabinet

2.1 No Displaying on Single Cabinet

 

No Displaying on Single Cabinet

 

Failure Cause

Solution

Power supply break down Check if the power supply of cabinet is working normal.
Receiving Card break down (No displaying on the last cabinet) Check if the receiving card is working normal (green indicator twinkling, red indicator keep lighting). If the green indicator is off or keeps lighting, it means
there is no signal (if the indicator is off, it maybe also because its power is off). If it truly breaks off, please change the receiving card.
Signal cable connected wrongly Check the signal cable connection between cabinets and reconnect.

 

 

3.   Common Failures and Solutions of LED Module

3.1  No Displaying on a LED Module


No Displaying on a LED Module


Failure Cause

Solution

Wrong Module input voltage Module input voltage should be 5V or 3.3V
Input Signal cable (flat cable) not connect well Reconnect the input signal cable (flat cable)
