- Wire Integrity: Periodically inspect wires for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they remain securely tucked away to prevent accidental snagging.
- Storage: If disassembling the Lego set or storing the light kit, carefully disconnect components and store them in a dry, safe place to prevent damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty component. | Ensure power source (USB or batteries) is working. Check all connections to expansion boards. Test individual light strands if possible. |
| Some lights are not working. | Loose connection, damaged wire/LED. | Inspect connections for the non-working lights. Gently check wires for kinks or breaks. If a component is faulty, contact support for replacement. |
| Lights flicker or are dim. | Insufficient power, loose connection. | If using batteries, replace them. If using USB, try a different USB port or adapter. Check all connections. |
| Lego bricks do not fit together properly after installation. | Wires are not routed correctly or are too bulky. | Carefully re-route wires to ensure they lie flat between or under bricks. Use wire organizing blocks to minimize bulk. |
