Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your Voluas VL001 pet feeder's display is not working or dispenses food at irregular times, you may have an issue with your screen/motherboard assembly. The display and motherboard are connected and are situated above the feeding chute.
Before you begin, power off the Voluas VL001 and unplug it from the power source. If it’s running on batteries, remove them first.
