Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the Panel PC failed to complete the boot sequence correctly, possibly due to a corrupted operating system or storage device failure.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors. Attempt to restore or reinstall the operating system. Verify all internal connections are secure. - Event ID: 1000
- Application crash — the HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall or repair the HMI software. Check for software conflicts or insufficient system resources. - Event ID: 7000
- Service failed to start — a required Windows service did not start during boot, which may prevent the HMI application from running.
Check the Windows Event Log for the specific service name. Ensure the service is set to automatic startup and that all dependencies are available. - Display No Signal
- The display remains blank or shows no signal after power-on, indicating a failure in the display backlight, inverter, or video signal path.
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector. Inspect the backlight inverter board and replace if faulty. Verify the display cable connections internally. - Touchscreen Not Responding
- The touchscreen does not register operator inputs, which may be caused by a failed touch controller, damaged touch overlay, or missing driver.
Recalibrate the touchscreen via the operating system control panel. Check the touch controller connection. Replace the touch overlay or controller board if calibration fails. - Hard Disk Failure
- The system reports a hard disk error or fails to boot from the hard disk, indicating imminent or complete HDD failure.
Back up data immediately if possible. Replace the hard disk with a compatible industrial-grade unit and reinstall the operating system and HMI software. - Fan Failure Warning
- The system detects that the internal cooling fan has stopped or is running below the required speed, risking thermal shutdown.
Clean or replace the internal cooling fan. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Check the fan connector on the motherboard. - CMOS Battery Low
- The real-time clock battery is depleted, causing the system to lose time and date settings on each power cycle.
Replace the CMOS battery (typically CR2032) on the motherboard. Reset the BIOS time and date after replacement.

Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector with a multimeter. Check for blown internal fuses on the power supply board.
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 board is faulty, replace it with a compatible unit.
Display is blank but the PC appears to be running (HDD activity, fan running)
The backlight inverter or backlight lamp (CCFL) may have failed. Check if the display shows a faint image when illuminated with an external light source.
Replace the backlight inverter board or the CCFL backlight lamp. If the TFT panel itself is damaged, replace the complete display assembly.
Touchscreen input is inaccurate or non-functional
Attempt touchscreen recalibration through the Windows control panel. Check the touch controller board connection to the motherboard.
Recalibrate the touchscreen. If recalibration fails, replace the resistive touch overlay or the touch controller board.
System freezes or reboots randomly during operation
Check the CPU and system temperatures using BIOS or monitoring software. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and check for dust blockage in ventilation paths.
Clean all ventilation slots and the internal fan. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating correctly. If overheating is not the cause, test the RAM modules and check the hard disk for errors using diagnostic tools.
WinCC or HMI application fails to start after Windows boot
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application or service errors. Check that the software license (dongle or software key) is present and valid.
Reinstall or repair the WinCC software installation. Ensure the license dongle is connected and recognized. Verify that all required Windows services are running and set to automatic startup.
