Aging LCD or OLED display, Loose display ribbon cable, Faulty display power regulator on PCB, Moisture damage behind front panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before removing the front cover to access the display module.

  • Step 1 – Power cycle: Turn the charger off and on to see if the display recovers temporarily.
  • Step 2 – Check for moisture: Look for condensation or water marks behind the display window. Address any sealing issues.
  • Step 3 – Reseat ribbon cable: With power OFF, gently reseat the display’s ribbon cable or connector on the main PCB.
  • Step 4 – External monitoring: Use the Alfen app or web interface to monitor status while the display is degraded.
  • Step 5 – Replace display: If the display remains dim or unreadable, it likely needs replacement.
