How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the control panel.

Steps to restore display:

  • Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the front/top panel and locate the ribbon cable between the display and main board. Disconnect and reconnect it firmly.
  • Inspect for cracks: Examine the display PCB for physical cracks or broken solder joints. If present, the panel must be replaced.
  • Replace display module: Order a compatible Costway display/control panel assembly and swap it, moving one connector at a time to avoid errors.
