• No LED indicator lit on back of module even though getting proper voltage.
• Module fails to accept firmware update.
• Power connection on module broke off.
• A single module is garbled or scrambled.

• Component: Module
• Control System:

Cause

• Failed module.

Resolution

• Replace failed module.

Note:  Blank (empty) module may be available for some display types.

For Temporary Operation

• If no replacement modules are available, move module to end of signal chain to minimize the visual impact.
• The end of the signal chain is either the right side of a single Galaxy display or the right side of the mirror face on a 2v configuration.
• For displays with PLRs, try to locate bad mods next to each other to minimize outage area.
