Lord, it would HAVE to be. Absolutely true point.

Who hurt you? I've said everywhere else in the thread I'm a design engineer, talked about what it likely is (power supply and/or data connection failure) and am very familiar with all ends of these.

You know, offering more than "that cabinet is just unplugged for whatever reason".

Cute though. ;)

Totally agreed. Just, terrible timing right after launch, haha

Happy holidays to you too! ;)

Yup, familiar with them- especially the signature Daktonics dealer treatment. If you're in the industry too, you know how angry whatever middle management is going to be after getting a call from the top with-

"Someone drove by this and called Johnny to say 'Hey, your new sign is broken'. Fix it."

Well, I posted this because of the LED cabinet failure so soon after he spent a ridiculous sum on this display system, and apparently whoever sold this to him cut corners on proper circuitry design (more expensive when done right), or relatively cheap components. And for a client like this, with the traffic this location sees, it is seemingly indicative of an LED reseller that maximized profits over robust product & design.

That sucks, Johnny. Someone's going to get the whip cracked, or already has.

Source- LED engineer

Yes, you're correct. Dead cabinets/tiles from sub-par data connections or cheap power supplies, merely weeks after completion.

On an installation like this, the design engineer should have accounted for what's called 'redundancy' data connections, so a client (especially like this) never loses a cabinet if something as simple as a CAT5/6 fails.

Yes, exactly.

The huge tile/cabinet failure in the giant LED installation they just finished. Nothing to do with Christmas :/ although I guess that could be said too..? I dont care either way, it's the season for family and loved ones.

Yes, that's what I was posting this for. Nothing to do with Christmas specifically, haha.

I actually work for a Springfield-local LED manufacturer, and it says a lot for data connection and/or tile/cabinet failure so early after a big installation like this.
