| Lights are dim or flickering. | Low battery power, insufficient power from USB, faulty connection. | Replace batteries or try a different USB power source. Verify all connections are secure. |
| Touch control is unresponsive. | Power issue, sensor obstruction. | Ensure the kit is powered. Check for any obstructions on the touch sensor. |
| Specific LEDs are not lighting up. | Loose connection to that specific LED, damaged LED. | Check the connection for the non-working LED. If still not working, contact customer support for assistance. |
