LED Display Fault Diagnostic Center

Start with the visible fault pattern before ordering parts. Each symptom can originate from the LED, PCB, signal chain, scan circuit, power system, configuration, or environment.

Dead pixels

Possible causes

LED package, solder joint, PCB pad, trace, or driver output

First diagnostic step

Test red, green, blue and identify whether the fault is one pixel, a row, or a column.

Color mismatch

Possible causes

Mixed LED bin, calibration, driver current, mask, or aging

First diagnostic step

Compare solid colors, grayscale, viewing angle, receiving-card calibration and replacement LED batch.

No signal

Possible causes

Receiving card, HUB board, ribbon cable, network cable, configuration, or power

First diagnostic step

Verify power LEDs, data direction, known-good cables, card mapping, and controller output.

Power issue

Possible causes

Power supply, wiring, voltage drop, connector, fuse, or distribution

First diagnostic step

Measure voltage under load and inspect terminals, polarity, current capacity, and distribution paths.

Module short circuit

Possible causes

Shorted LED, capacitor, IC, solder bridge, damaged multilayer PCB, or moisture

First diagnostic step

Use current-limited power and resistance comparison. Locate heat safely before replacing components.

Water damage

Possible causes

Ingress through masks, connectors, cabinet seals, PCB coating, or drainage

First diagnostic step

Disconnect power, document corrosion, clean and dry correctly, then test rails before energizing.

GOB damage

Possible causes

Impact, delamination, trapped moisture, damaged encapsulation, or buried LED failure

First diagnostic step

Determine resin type and repairability before removing coating or applying heat.
