⚠️ IPA should be used first and can be used on modules, including louvers and LEDs, in an attempt to remove any paint. Ethanol SHOULD NOT be used on modules and should ONLY be used on metal parts of the display, as it can cause further damage to the modules.
⚠️Do not wipe surface hard or use strong chemical materials that can cause LED damage.
- Using Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and a soft cloth, gently wipe the painted surface with IPA.
- If IPA removes the paint, skip to step 4.
- If IPA does not remove paint from modules, please follow My display has been damaged by a disaster, vandalism, accident, animals/insects, or extreme weather. .
