On the Subject of Black Screens

Bypassing... Done! Wait, it was too easy.

Hello, expert! We have sent you on a mission to crack the code of this barmy module! The bomb where your module is will contain all code info so no fretting! Just chop, chopping!

Screen messages

As you can see, the module has been set with a display. Simply count the amount of letters on each display and use this number for the corresponding codes. The top is used for Code 1, right used for Code 2, bottom used for Code 3.

When all row locks have been disabled, simply fool the bomb into solving the module by pressing the centre button.
