Storage: If storing the LEGO model with the lighting kit for an extended period, disconnect the power source (remove batteries or unplug USB) to prevent battery leakage or unnecessary power drain.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BRIKSMAX LED Lighting Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Lights do not turn on.	No power, loose connection, faulty component.	Check battery installation (polarity, charge) or USB connection. Ensure all wires are securely connected to expansion boards. Inspect wires for visible damage.
Some lights are not working.	Loose connection, damaged wire/LED.	Verify connections for the specific non-working lights. Gently check wires for kinks or breaks. If a single LED is faulty, it may need replacement (contact support).
Lights are dim.	Low battery power.	Replace batteries with fresh ones or switch to USB power.
Wires are visible or difficult to hide.	Improper routing during installation.	Carefully re-route wires through gaps in LEGO bricks or under plates. Refer to the detailed instruction manual for suggested routing paths.
