Charger displays E06 and will not start charging; sometimes appears after a power surge or lightning event.

Safety first: Disconnect the Megear charger from power before opening the housing. Surges can leave components in an unsafe state.

• 1. Full reset:
  • Unplug the charger or switch off the breaker for at least 5 minutes.
  • Restore power and check if E06 clears.
• 2. Inspect internal connections:
  • Open the housing with power disconnected.
  • Check the ribbon cable or harness between the display/LED board and the main control board.
  • Reseat connectors firmly; look for bent pins or corrosion.
• 3. Look for surge damage:
  • Examine the main control board for burn marks, cracked ICs, or bulging components.
  • If any component appears physically damaged, the entire board should be replaced.
• 4. Surge protection:
  • If E06 occurred after a storm or power event, consider installing a whole-house surge protector or a dedicated surge device for the EV circuit to prevent recurrence.

Because E06 indicates an internal diagnostic failure, board-level repair is typically not practical for homeowners. Replace the main control board or the entire Megear unit if the error persists.
