Hi All

The display on my close to 1 years old inverter is starting to bomb out by the look of it. At the moment it's just the date and error code and battery current inon the bottom and bottom right, but, in my experiance these things do not get better, and only get worse.

I still have to check the warranty, but assuming it's over, then what are my options. It's all working so well , I really dont want to take it in for repair, and would prefer to do it myself or get-a-guy-in.

Has this happened to anyone else

Is it a regular Kodak problem

what are my options.

Its a Axpert MKS4 design fault. The MPPT board lies just under the display and causes this interference/disturbance. 

SegenSolar has a solution, you can contact them. 

Wether its under warranty or not, they will have to assist you at no cost because its a design issue. 

That portion of the display flickers typically, does that happen, or is yours dead?

Have you got solar panels connected?

Yes, solar pomping away at 234 volts and probably and my 5 x 545 panels can pop 12 Amp fuses during cloud eadge events so now changed to 15.

By rebooting, do you mean switch off and on again?? 220, battery and panels.??

 By the way, if i do do this, what is the correct sequence to switch back on??

If the problem persists, then who do I contact on the issue??

Thank you all for the very quick responses.

This forum makes me feel very much less alone out here in the solar world.

OK, doff old me, you want me to switch of the solar and see if it goes away??

will report back
