Posted March 31, 2019 Hello! So for the actually lights, they work, but what I mean by not working is its problem. The lights wrok but only when I keep pulling back or putting pressure on the cable for the power. They light up and as soon I let the power cable go the lights turn off. Was thinking of them using in my setup, and I can't return them because their a few months old now. Idk what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what to do Take a photo of the connector you're referring to it sounds like there is a bad pin on the cable or solder joint to the LED strip.

Sounds like a loose pin if it's the connector that directly interfaces to the PSU. Updated Modding FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 1, 2019 Author Just found out that the connectors weren't the problem, the white adapter thing was, I needed to adjust the psu cable in the white adapter for it to work, and if I move it even an micrometer it will turn off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 1, 2019 Bust out some wire strippers and a soldering iron and solder the wires from the power supply to the connector pins and call it a day. Or don't be as ghetto as me up to you.

Do you have a RGB controller, those lights must use one to be able to change colors and different lighting modes. Updated Modding FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
