Reply to comment by ProgressMom68 in That's just too bad Johnny by keonijared

Well, I posted this because of the LED cabinet failure so soon after he spent a ridiculous sum on this display system, and apparently whoever sold this to him cut corners on proper circuitry design (more expensive when done right), or relatively cheap components. And for a client like this, with the traffic this location sees, it is seemingly indicative of an LED reseller that maximized profits over robust product & design.

That sucks, Johnny. Someone's going to get the whip cracked, or already has.

Hmm this side is a Daktronics, they are pretty good about having redundant signal paths. I'd guess it's a power supply issue

Totally agreed. Just, terrible timing right after launch, haha

You don’t have a clue. They have been weather proofing it all and there is redundant power supplies, more than likely it is just unplugged for that particular panel. Daktronics did the install and is a leader in these screens.

The tech was out there running the connections to the cabinets at 3am, I wouldn't be surprised if a power supply was loose. Lol They are adding the faux wood framing around so that easily could have knocked a loose connection. Or they could have gotten a bad power supply. It happened to Dak before.

Who hurt you? I've said everywhere else in the thread I'm a design engineer, talked about what it likely is (power supply and/or data connection failure) and am very familiar with all ends of these.

You know, offering more than "that cabinet is just unplugged for whatever reason".

Cute though. ;)
