Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable to display, failed LCD/OLED module, backlight failure, low-voltage power supply issue to UI board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the machine before accessing the control panel.

Steps:

  • Check contrast/brightness (if available): Some models allow adjustment; ensure it is not set too low.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the front panel and reseat the ribbon cable between the main board and display/UI board.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of water ingress behind the panel. Dry thoroughly and correct any leak sources.
  • Measure low-voltage supply: Verify that the UI board is receiving the correct DC voltage from the main board.
  • Replace display/UI board: If the module remains blank or garbled, replace it with the correct La Marzocco display or keypad board.
