Sign acting up? Let's figure out which part failed.

Answer a few quick questions and we'll pinpoint the likely faulty component. Works for any sign — we'll show the NovaStar-equivalent part, so just match it to the model inside yours.

Important — match your exact part. This tool identifies which component has failed, not the brand in your sign. The part shown is the NovaStar equivalent; the same diagnosis applies whether your sign runs Huidu, DBStar or another controller. Because these parts are not cross-brand interchangeable, always order the version and model number that matches the part already inside your sign — if it differs from what's shown, confirm compatibility with us first.
