Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk integrity, verify BIOS settings, and ensure the operating system installation is intact. Replace hard disk if drive failure is confirmed.
Event ID: 101: Hardware watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the expected time window.
Check CPU load and running processes. Restart the panel PC and investigate any software causing system hangs. Update or reinstall the HMI application if the issue persists.
Event ID: 102: Fan failure or thermal warning — cooling fan speed below threshold or fan not detected.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan if it is not operating. Ensure ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
Event ID: 103: Battery low warning — the CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is below the minimum threshold.
Replace the internal CMOS battery (typically CR2032 or equivalent). After replacement, reconfigure BIOS date, time, and settings.
Event ID: 104: Hard disk error — read/write failure or S.M.A.R.T. warning reported by the storage device.
Back up all data immediately. Run disk diagnostics and replace the hard disk drive if errors are confirmed. Reinstall the operating system and HMI software on the new drive.
Event ID: 105: Network communication error — Ethernet interface not detected or link failure.
Check Ethernet cable connections and network switch status. Verify network adapter settings in the operating system Device Manager. Replace the Ethernet cable or network adapter if hardware fault is confirmed.
Event ID: 106: Display or backlight failure — screen remains dark or backlight does not illuminate after power-on.
Check 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Inspect the backlight inverter and display cable connections. Replace the backlight unit or display panel if hardware failure is confirmed.
Event ID: 107: Memory error — RAM module not detected or parity/ECC error reported during POST.
Reseat the RAM module(s). Test with a known-good memory module. Replace the faulty RAM if the error persists after reseating.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after switching on the 24 V DC supply

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check for blown internal fuses and inspect the power supply module for visible damage.

Ensure the supply voltage is within the specified 24 V DC range. Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating. If the internal power supply module is faulty, replace it with a compatible spare.

Display is blank or backlight does not illuminate after power-on

Verify that the unit is receiving power (check status LEDs). Inspect the display cable connection between the mainboard and the display panel. Test the backlight inverter output voltage.

Reseat the display cable connectors. If the backlight inverter is faulty, replace it. If the TFT panel itself is damaged, replace the display assembly with a compatible 12.1-inch SVGA unit.

Touchscreen or mouse input is unresponsive or inaccurate

Check the touchscreen controller connection to the mainboard. In the operating system, navigate to the touchscreen calibration utility and verify calibration settings.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the built-in calibration tool in Windows. If the touchscreen controller driver is corrupted, reinstall the driver. Replace the touchscreen overlay if physical damage is present.

System boots but HMI application fails to start or crashes repeatedly

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs. Verify that the hard disk has sufficient free space and that no disk errors are present. Confirm that the installed HMI software version is compatible with the operating system.

Run a disk check (chkdsk) to repair file system errors. Reinstall the HMI application if software corruption is detected. If the hard disk is failing, replace it and perform a clean installation of the OS and HMI software.

Ethernet communication is lost or the network interface is not recognized

Check the Ethernet cable and switch port status. Open Device Manager in Windows and verify that the network adapter is listed without errors. Ping the device from another network node to confirm connectivity.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reinstall the network adapter driver if it shows an error in Device Manager. If the onboard Ethernet port is physically damaged, use a PCI network adapter card as a replacement if an expansion slot is available.
