Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Perform a full power cycle of the drive (Control Unit and Power Module) to attempt a re-initialization of internal communications.
- 2
Carefully reseat the Control Unit onto the Power Module, ensuring all connectors are firm and correctly aligned.
- 3
Check the ambient temperature around the drive and verify that the Control Unit's cooling fan is operating correctly.
- 4
Inspect the Control Unit for any visible signs of damage, such as swollen capacitors or burnt components.
- 5
If multiple similar faults occur, consider updating the Control Unit's firmware to the latest stable version.
