Module section or row, entire display, or mirror is blank, Failed power supply

Potential Symptoms

• Individual, portion, section, line, or block of modules blank on display; may include multiple rows and columns of modules.
• Modules further down the signal stream from the blank modules may be blank, showing solid colors, pixelated, or other garbled images. 
• Entire display (or mirror side) may be blank or garbled depending on display size and component layout.
• However, still able to communicate to the display (Galaxy and GalaxyPro only).
• Half or segment of the display may be blank depending on display size and component layout.
• Section of modules may flash on and off or flicker.
• No power LED lit on the modules connected to the power supply.
• Power supply is not outputting correctly but is receiving proper voltage, typically 120, 208 or 240 VAC.
• Blank section of modules.
• Communication Failure event on the affected modules in IDM.
• Possible Communication Failure event on affected MLC's or DD's in IDM.
• IDM reports all modules in section as "Reset" when power goes off then back on.
• If the fans in the display are DC powered (e.g. DB-2000 or DB-3000), the fans located in the correlating power supply section will not be running.

• Component: Module, modular power supply
• Control System:

Cause

• Failed power supply.

Resolution

• Replace the failed power supply.

For Temporary Operation

• If a spare power supply is not available, swap the failed power supply with another to minimize the visual impact to the display.
• Galaxy example: Swap a working power supply from mirror face that is working to the primary face where the failed power supply is located.
• Billboard and video example: Swap a working power supply from the corner or edge of the display, one that powers fewer modules.
