6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BRIKSMAX 2.0 Light Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty component. | Check battery box (ensure batteries are fresh and correctly inserted) or USB connection. Verify all wire connections to expansion boards. Inspect for damaged wires. |
| Some lights are dim or flickering. | Low battery power, loose connection, partial wire damage. | Replace batteries or try a different USB port/power adapter. Re-check connections. Gently inspect wires for kinks or damage. |
| Lights are too bright/glaring. | Not applicable for this kit. | The BRIKSMAX 2.0 kit uses silicone lights designed for softer illumination. If you find the lights too bright, consider adjusting ambient room lighting. |
