G.skill Trident Z RGB ram flickering

I've had this ram for a while now but at some point one rgb led on one of my rgb ram sticks started flickering rapidly. It does this all the time from boot till shutdown. I have had the beta program installed before, to control the software but it won't start anymore for some reason as it can't detect the sticks which is a common issue with the software since it's in alpha/beta. 

 

I've uploaded a video which shows the issue.

 

How would I go about fixing this? Is it a hardware or software issue?

What mobo do you have. You could try to control the ram with your motherboard's RGB program.

LED heat sink itself not the ram.  a portion of the LED is damaged or not working properly  the only way to fix it is to take the heat spreder off the ram take out the led strip find the damaged led  solderer it off the pad its on and replace it.  The LED is about the size of a pen head and is not really worth replacing. If I were you I would reach out to G. Skill and see if they will replace the stick of ram.

I've got the Gigabyte AB350 gaming 3 and with RGB fusion, the gigabyte RGB program, it doesn't work as of yet.

mhhh, I believe ram sticks have a lifetime warranty especially these sticks. I can try and do that yes.
