Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BrickBling Light Kit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty component. | Ensure the power supply is securely connected to a working USB power source. Check all wire connections to the Action Control Module and individual lights. Refer to the video guide to confirm correct wiring. |
| Some lights are not working. | Loose connection, damaged wire/LED. | Inspect the connections for the specific non-working lights. Gently check the wires for any visible damage. If a component appears faulty, contact customer support. |
| Lights flicker or are dim. | Insufficient power, loose connection. | Ensure your USB power source provides adequate power (e.g., 5V/1A or higher). Check all connections for tightness. |
| Difficulty fitting wires between bricks. | Incorrect placement, bricks not fully separated. | Ensure you are following the video guide for wire routing. Gently separate bricks further if needed, but avoid forcing them. The wires are designed to be thin. |
