How to troubleshoot common issues with an electronic dart board?

Monday, 11/24/2025
This guide provides B2B procurement professionals in the Digital Sports Entertainment industry with expert advice on identifying and resolving common issues with electronic dart board machines, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

1. Power Supply Issues

Problem: The dart board fails to power on or experiences intermittent power loss.

Solution:

  • Check the Power Cord and Adapter: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the dart board and the wall outlet. Inspect the power adapter for any visible damage. A damaged adapter can prevent power from reaching the board.

  • Inspect the Circuit Breaker: Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped, which could cut power to the dart board.

Preventive Measure: Regularly inspect and maintain the power supply components to prevent future issues.

2. Scoring Inaccuracies

Problem: The dart board miscounts scores or registers incorrect points.

Solution:

  • Clean the Sensor Area: Dust and debris can accumulate and interfere with the sensitive sensors. Gently clean the segments with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the sensitive electronics.

  • Recalibrate the Dart Board: Sometimes, simply restarting the dart board can resolve scoring inaccuracies.

Preventive Measure: Regular maintenance, including cleaning and calibration, can help maintain scoring accuracy.

3. Darts Not Sticking to the Board

Problem: Darts frequently bounce out or fail to stick to the board.

Solution:

  • Inspect Dart Tips: Bent or dull tips can prevent darts from sticking. Regularly check and replace damaged tips.

  • Tighten Dart Components: Ensure all parts of the dart, including the shaft, barrel, and flights, are securely fastened.

Preventive Measure: Maintain a supply of replacement tips and perform regular checks to ensure all dart components are in good condition.

4. Display Malfunctions

Problem: The display is blank, flickering, or showing incorrect information.

Solution:

  • Check Display Settings: Ensure the display's brightness is properly adjusted.

  • Restart the Dart Board: A simple restart can often resolve temporary display glitches.

Preventive Measure: Regularly update the dart board's firmware to ensure optimal performance.

5. Mechanical Failures

Problem: The dart board experiences mechanical issues, such as stuck darts or malfunctioning segments.

Solution:

  • Remove Stuck Darts: If a dart is stuck, gently remove it to prevent damage.

  • Inspect and Tighten Segments: Loose or damaged segments can cause mechanical failures. Regularly inspect and tighten all segments to ensure proper function.

Preventive Measure: Implement a routine maintenance schedule to identify and address mechanical issues promptly.
