Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Light My Bricks kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the light components and cables with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the electronics.

- Storage: If storing the model for an extended period, disconnect the USB power cable. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Light My Bricks kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Lights Not Working:

- Check all individual cable connections to the expansion boards and effect boards for proper seating and orientation.
- Verify that the power source (USB port, power bank) is active and providing power.
- Flickering Lights:
- This may indicate an unstable or insufficient power supply. Try a different USB power source or ensure the current source can handle the load.
- Inspect cable connections for any looseness.
- Remote Control Not Responding:
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the kit's receiver.
- Check the remote control's battery and replace if necessary.
