8. Datrys Problemau
| Problem | Achos Posibl | Ateb |
|---|---|---|
| Gwefrydd ddim yn troi ymlaen. | Dim pŵer AC; soced diffygiol. | Gwiriwch y cysylltiad pŵer AC. Profwch y soced gyda dyfais arall. |
| Red "Reverse Connection" LED is on. | Polaredd batri anghywir. | Disconnect AC power, then reconnect RED to positive (+) and BLACK to negative (-). |
| Green LED is blinking but battery is not charging. | Poor connection to battery; deeply discharged battery. | Sicrhewch clamps/terminals are securely connected. For deeply discharged batteries, it may take longer to initiate charging or the battery may be beyond recovery. |
| Mae'r gwefrydd yn cynhesu yn ystod y llawdriniaeth. | Gweithrediad arferol. | Mae hyn yn normal. Sicrhewch fod digon o awyru o amgylch y gwefrydd. |
