8. Penyelesaian masalah

If you encounter issues with your ELECROW ESP32-P4 HMI AI Display, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Tiada Kuasa: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the display and a reliable 5V power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
• Paparan Tidak Menjawab: Perform a soft reset by pressing the RESET button on the board. If the issue persists, disconnect and reconnect the power.
• Skrin Sentuh Tidak Responsif: Verify that the LCD-TP connector is properly seated. If using custom firmware, ensure touch drivers are correctly initialized.
• Isu Kesambungan (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth): Check your network settings and ensure the ESP32-C6 module is functioning correctly. For custom wireless modules, ensure they are properly installed and configured.
• Kegagalan Muat Naik Firmware: Ensure the correct COM port is selected in your development environment (e.g., VS Code). Verify that the USB-C data cable is connected to the correct port on the display for programming. Press and hold the BOOT button while pressing and releasing the RESET button, then release BOOT to enter download mode if needed.
• Software/Application Errors: Refer to the documentation for your specific development environment (Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, LVGL) for debugging guidance. Ensure all libraries and dependencies are correctly installed and updated.
