Possible Causes

Failed LCD/OLED display on Kia charger, Loose display ribbon cable, Backlight failure, Moisture damage to display PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Even if charging works, isolate power before opening the charger.

  • 1. Check brightness or contrast (if available): Some models allow adjusting display brightness via app or buttons. Ensure it is not set to minimum.
  • 2. Power-cycle: Turn off the charger at the breaker for a few minutes and restore power to see if the display recovers.
  • 3. Internal cable check (technician): With power off, a technician can open the unit and verify that the display ribbon cable is fully seated and undamaged.
  • 4. Replace display module: If the display remains blank, replace the display PCB or module with a Kia-approved part.
