Product Usage Instructions:
Before You Begin:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Connecting Cable Connectors To Expansion Boards:
Take the connecting cables and insert the connectors into the
ports on the Expansion Boards. Ensure that the connectors are
inserted correctly and securely.
Connecting Cable Connectors To Strip Lights:
When connecting the cable connectors to the Strip Lights, be
careful to follow these steps:
-
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip
Lights. -
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light
facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed
is facing down. -
If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force
it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.
Connecting Micro Cable Connectors To Micro Expansion Board
Ports:
When connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board
ports, follow these steps:
-
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro
ports of Micro Expansion Boards. -
Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is
similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. -
With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the
connector with the wires exposed is facing down. -
If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force
it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector
to the micro port.

Before You Begin
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles
providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully
join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably
in between each stud. CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can
result in damaging the cable and light.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
LEGO® THE ORIENT EXPRESS TRAIN 21344 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE
Connecting Cable Connectors To Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up,
look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector
side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as
you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do
not force it. Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins
inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

Before You Begin
Connecting Cable Connectors To Strip Lights
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up,
ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a
plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will
damage the plug and the connector.

Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is
similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion
board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is
facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force

port.

Troubleshooting
Firstly, ensure that the batteries have power using a battery charge gauge. If
the batteries have no power, replace the batteries. If the batteries still
have power, check to see if the batteries have been inserted correctly into
the battery pack.

Check for AA batteries using the AA battery pack
Inside the battery pack are symbols indicating which direction the AA battery
should be inserted. The flat side of the battery should be paired with the
spring side of the battery pack. If the batteries have been installed
correctly and your kit still isn’t operating correctly, the next step is to
check the wiring.

Troubleshooting
LEGO® THE ORIENT EXPRESS TRAIN 21344 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE
Check Your Wires
In order for Light My Bricks components to fit in between and underneath LEGO®
bricks, the components need to be very small. Due to this nature, Light My
Bricks components can be easily damaged when not handled correctly.
Be careful when removing unpacked components out of the packaging and ensure
not to forcibly pull at the wires as this can damage the soldering that attach
the wires to the LEDs.
If the wiring is detached from the LED itself, the light will not operate.
When connecting lights to your LEGO® set, check that there are no pinched
wires underneath or in between bricks and plates. When the wires are pinched
and the exposed wires are touching each other, this can cause a crosswire and
the lights to not function correctly.

Troubleshooting
Check Your Expansion Board Ports/ Strip Light Ports / Effects Board Ports
It is important to note that connectors can only be inserted to the expansion
board, strip light, or effects board ports in one direction. Forcibly
inserting connectors in the incorrect direction will result in damaging the
pins inside each of the ports on your component board. Not only will a light
connected to the damaged port not work, but if the pins inside the port are
bent to a point they are touching each other, this can result in all other
lights in the system to stop working. This is a short circuit.
TROUBLESHOOTING

A short circuit can also result in overheating of the board, cable or
batteries. If you suspect a short circuit, DISCONNECT POWER IMMEDIATELY
Batteries can fail, catch fire, or even explode if left connected to a short
circuit for too long. If you suspect you have a faulty component due to a bent
pin, try the following steps: If you look carefully inside each of the ports,
each port contains 2 small pins that should be straight. You will be able to
identify a faulty port if it has any bent pins.
