Why is my Cloudray Ruida RDC6442S controller display blank despite being lit, and why is it failing to communicate with the PC or move manually?

Based on the symptoms described for your Cloudray Ruida RDC6442S, the issue likely stems from a power stability problem, a faulty communication cable, or a failing mainboard. Since the display lights up but shows no content until it is replugged, and manual movement is failing, follow these troubleshooting steps:Check Power Supply: Ensure the mainboard is receiving a stable 24V DC. If the voltage drops when motors try to move, the controller may freeze or lose communication.Inspect the HMI Cable: The "five-core cable" connecting the display (HMI) to the mainboard may have a loose pin or internal break. Since replugging it temporarily fixes the display, try replacing this specific cable.PC Communication: Verify that the USB cable is no longer than 5 meters. If the PC does not recognize the device, check the Device Manager on your computer to see if the Ruida drivers are still active. Try switching to the Ethernet (Network) port to rule out a faulty USB interface on the mainboard.Manual Movement Issues: If the machine refuses to move manually, check the status LEDs on the mainboard. If the "Run" LED is not flashing normally, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) may be crashing.Reset and Firmware: Use the Reset button on the panel. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Cloudray support to verify if the firmware has become corrupted or if the mainboard hardware has failed, as these controllers can occasionally experience internal component failure over time.If these steps do not resolve the blank screen and communication loss, the mainboard likely needs replacement. >
