Possible Causes

Failing low-voltage power supply module, Loose low-voltage harness to LED/display board, Electrical noise from supply, Partial short on LED/display PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: While often cosmetic, this can indicate impending power supply failure.

  • Step 1 – Power cycle: Turn the charger off at the breaker for 60 seconds, then on, and observe LED behavior.
  • Step 2 – Check for correlation with load: Note whether flickering occurs only during high-current charging, which may indicate PSU stress.
  • Step 3 – Technician inspection: With power off, a technician can check the low-voltage connectors between the main PCB and LED/display board for secure fit and signs of heat.
  • Step 4 – Replace PSU or display board: If instability persists, the low-voltage PSU or LED/display board may need replacement.
