Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The SC672 error shows immediately upon power-on. If the display is frozen or showing a system alert instead of the menu, the controller board is struggling to initialize.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Hard Reset: Power off the device and unplug for 15+ minutes.
  2. Retry Boot: Plug in and power on. If it completes initialization, a temporary memory hiccup occurred.
  3. Call Professional: If it remains stuck at SC672, the controller board or firmware might require service.
