PanelView Plus 600 Display Problems? Here’s How to Fix Them Fast!

Imagine this—you’re in the middle of a production run, and suddenly, your PanelView Plus 600 screen flickers, dims, or completely dies. Your machine operators are now flying blind, production slows down, and the clock is ticking on lost revenue. 

Sound familiar? If you’re an industrial maintenance tech, automation specialist, or plant engineer, you know how much of a headache HMI failures can be. And if you’re in procurement, you know that waiting weeks for an expensive OEM replacement isn’t an option. 

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to replace the whole unit. Most PanelView Plus 600 issues can be quickly fixed with the right replacement parts. 

At Monitech, we’ve helped thousands of companies repair and upgrade their HMIs without breaking the bank. In this guide, we’ll break down the most common issues, how to fix them, and where to get the best replacement parts. 

Let’s get started!  

 

Common PanelView Plus 600 Problems and How to Fix Them 

Issue #1: The Screen is Dim, Flickering, or Totally Dead 

What’s Happening? 

If your PanelView Plus 600 screen looks like it’s running on its last breath—dim, flickering, or just black—it’s likely an LCD failure or a bad backlight. This happens over time as the display wears out, and the original bulbs inside start burning out. 

How to Fix It: 

You need to replace the LCD panel. Monitech’s replacement LCD panels are brighter, last longer, and are easy to install. They come with everything you need to swap out the old screen and get back to full visibility.

Quick Fix Guide: 

1. Turn off power and disconnect the PanelView Plus 600 unit. 

1. Open the enclosure and locate the old LCD screen. 

1. Remove the old screen (usually attached with screws and a ribbon cable). 

1. Install the new LCD panel, reconnect the ribbon cable, and secure it. 

1. Power up the unit and test the screen—good as new! 

 

Issue #2: The Touchscreen is Unresponsive or Not Working Properly 

What’s Happening? 

If your touchscreen isn’t responding when you tap, lags, or selects the wrong areas, it’s likely worn out or damaged. Over time, dirt, grime, and repeated use wear down the touch panel, making it less accurate or completely dead. 

How to Fix It: 

Swap out the old touchscreen for a new one. If you want to save time and effort, Monitech offers fully assembled touchscreens with front bezels, making replacement a plug-and-play process.

Quick Fix Guide: 

1. Power down the HMI before doing any work. 

1. Remove the front bezel and touchscreen (it’s usually held by clips or screws). 

1. Disconnect the ribbon cable carefully. 

1. Attach the new touchscreen, secure it in place, and reconnect the ribbon cable. 

1. Turn the unit back on and test the touchscreen—should be working like new! 

 

Issue #3: The Screen is Cracked or Physically Damaged 

What’s Happening? 

Dropped tools, accidents, or plain old wear-and-tear can crack the display, making it hard to read or completely useless. If there are black spots, missing pixels, or a shattered screen, it’s time for a replacement. 

How to Fix It: 

You’ll need a complete replacement kit that includes both the LCD and touchscreen. 

✅ Get a Fully Assembled Replacement Kit for Type A 

✅ Get a Fully Assembled Replacement Kit for Type B 

Quick Fix Guide: 

1. Power off and disconnect the PanelView unit. 

1. Remove the damaged screen and bezel from the HMI housing. 

1. Install the new kit, making sure all connections are secure. 

1. Power it up and test it—your machine is back in action!
