Frequently asked questions

The SC670 error is a communication startup failure, meaning the main controller did not signal ready during the power-on self-test.

It is technically possible, but it requires specific service-level software and SD card access. We recommend calling a professional.

Persistent SC670 errors usually indicate hardware damage to the motherboard requiring a replacement.

Protect the unit with a high-quality UPS to prevent unstable voltage from corrupting the startup controller.
