How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing any panels.
- Inspect communication cable: Locate the multi‑wire harness or ribbon cable between the Giant display board and main control. Check for damage, pinched sections, or loose connectors.
- Reseat connectors: Unplug and firmly reconnect both ends of the communication cable.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water leaks near the control area. Correct any leaks and dry components thoroughly.
- Swap boards if available: If you have access to known‑good boards (e.g., from identical unit), swap the display or main control to isolate the faulty component. Otherwise, a technician should diagnose and replace the defective Giant board.
