6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your JMBricklayer Pearl Pirate Ship Model Kit:
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these may damage the blocks or electrical components.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic.

- Lights Not Turning On:
- Ensure all lighting accessories are correctly installed onto the expansion board.
- Verify the power supply (battery box) is connected and switched ON.
- Check that the connectors are correctly installed as shown in the picture.
- Individual Lights Not Working:
- Check the internal pins of the connector sockets. A bent or improperly seated pin can be a fault.
