    Sunny boy 2000hf screen not working

    I recently moved houses and the previous owner had a sunny boy sb-2000hf-30 inverter installed. The first green light is on but when I tap on the screen nothing happens. On the manual it says that tapping/knocking on the screen should turn it on. Anyone knows how this inverter works?

    When working on circuits do you isolate whole board or just the final circuits using MCBs ?

    When working on circuits do you isolate whole board or just the final circuits using MCBs ? Or is there any instances when the whole board has to be isolated even if you are working on few final circuits? Thanks.
