I mean at-least have a clue what you are talking about.

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

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."

You don’t have a clue. They have been weather proofing it all and there is redundant power supplies, more than likely it is just unplugged for that particular panel. Daktronics did the install and is a leader in these screens.

They use SATA and fiber in signs this big. At least they didn't install this one over a fountain lol

Hmm this side is a Daktronics, they are pretty good about having redundant signal paths. I'd guess it's a power supply issue

Not Mexican but don’t sleep on the food truck park’s La Chiva Colombiana. I have Colombian friends that say it’s as good as anything back home.

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.

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.

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.

Summer at Karma Salon is amazing, she's the best stylist I've had. She gave me a great hair cut when I needed help after having covid ended up with a LOT off hair breakage. She shaped my new hair-do to work with what I had going on. Now things are growing back and she is doing a great job with my hair. Also very nice, she doesn't mind ideal chatter or she just as good with letting you seat quietly and enjoy your pampering time. 10/10 would recommend!

Nah, you can’t tell from the picture but that’s about twenty feet off the ground. Definitely not a door.

Pretty sure this is about the huge chunk of bad LED panels, on their brand new $$$$ sign, rather than the language.

Yeah I thought we were looking at dead pixels for a second. My thought was, "Oh dang these screens just got installed, it's a shame a block of the screen is gone." Thinking that the black squares under the word holiday were the focus point of this post.

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. ;)
