Main Logic Board
The solid red light indicates a failure in the microcontroller's initialization sequence. This is most commonly caused by a component failure on the PCB, such as a capacitor or voltage regulator, preventing the firmware from booting. Replacing the main board restores the logic-level functions of the machine.

AC Power Adapter (3.0A)
If the external power supply fails to deliver consistent amperage during the motor-check phase of startup, the logic board may drop voltage and enter a fail-safe red-light state. A fresh OEM-spec power brick ensures the machine receives the high-current draw required for initial carriage calibration.

Carriage Flex Cable (FFC)
A fracture in the flexible flat cable prevents the main board from receiving feedback from the carriage's optical sensors. If the processor cannot verify the carriage's home position during POST, it will halt the boot sequence and display a red error light to prevent mechanical damage.
