The lower 4 segments on the GB wand kit don’t light up. When I adjust the pot, they all light up ok so I know the LEDs work. The whole display is shifted up though. Is there a way to recalibrate the bargraph?

Every time I’ve had this issue, it’s from the [ribbon cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable), specifically the ends that are silver not making contact with the board or the [bar graph](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bar-graph). They sell these cables on Amazon. I’ll give you the link just let me find it. You can grab them in a pack of 10 for almost nothing and if that doesn’t solve it, then you may have bigger problems, but I would start there, especially if you’ve been unplugging it and plugging it back at multiple times.

This happened to me when I was initially testing my electronics setup. Turns out I had the ribbon plugged in backwards on the main board. Flipped it over and everything has been fine since.

Looks like the [ribbon cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) is either damaged, not seated correctly, or backwards. After being an idiot and put a screw through mine (long story), I bought these:

Sure, it’s a 10 pack, but at least you’re covered for the future!
