| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before taking any system action on Starmex 4 blinks, take a short video of the blinking-light sequence. | Confirm which PCB or board input Starmex 4 blinks points to for your model. |
| Capture the Mitsubishi Electric indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Check power supply, fuses, connectors, wiring, and board indicators. |
| The manufacturer lists no customer reset procedure for this code. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Rule out water ingress, surge damage, and connected component faults before replacing the board. |

What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, listed-meaning, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows Starmex 4 blinks. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same Starmex 4 blinks fault. | Prioritise the shared outdoor side, power path, and source-listed system branch. |
| The fault remains displayed or returns during operation. | Start with the checks the manufacturer lists for this code before approving parts. |
| The model family is different from the row you found online. | Use the model or series filter first; same-looking codes can still belong to different diagnostic tables. |
| The model belongs to Inverter Split, Multi-Split, Single-Split rows such as FP Series, GP Series. | This meaning comes from the manufacturer's own diagnostic material. Match the code to your model's listing before parts are quoted. |
