Hello everyone, this is my first time posting an issue here my solix 12 started messing up earlier today and I could never get it to work I connect the power and all it shows is a mostly white screen with some black towards the buttons I have no idea what to do and have been searching the Forum and internet for any similar issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I am trying to figure out how to put up some pictures

Some SOLIX issues (very power hungry animals) can be attributed to low power (low/bad battery) or insufficient amperage (too small of wires) ...
**Troubleshooting can be ...:
*Load testing the battery to determine battery health ...
*Verifying wiring (at least 10gauge) direct from battery to SOLIX ...
And of course Restore Defaults is an easy 1st troubleshooting step ...
