Corsair Lightning Node Pro acting weird

[TheTallGuy]

Hey guys, don't know if I have the right forum for this but I have a problem. So I've got the Corsair Lightning Node Pro and it is acting weird.

Here is a video of what is happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC7GQmTL8DE&feature=youtu.be

I have the leds in iCUE set to white.

 

I have checked all the connections, so could this be a software problem. Already reinstalled iCUE

 

if you can help me, please

Are you using some sort of adapter for power (Eg: Molex to SATA)? I had a similar issue with my Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE, disconnected the adapter and it solved the problem.

Connecting to other SATA power connector won't solve the problem I suppose...

 

Is iCUE reporting a firmware update failure or some sort of warning on the device? Try a force update of the firmware, maybe it solves.

I forced updated it, but this did not solve the problem. Gonna try and connect it to another SATA power connector in case the one I'm using is bad...

Does it behave the same way when iCUE is NOT running? Because there are hardware profiles and software profiles with Corsair devices and it might do a difference.

I turned off iCUE and its still acting weird

You can try the following things:

• Reinstall the driver - Go to Device Manager > locate the device > Uninstall device > Then Scan for hardware changes. It should reinstall it.
• Plug it in other spare computer if you can and install iCUE in it - It may seen stupid but I once had a firmware problem with my keyboard and mouse (also from Corsair) and force update was always failing, I plug them in other computer I had, and the firmware install went fine.

 

If none of this works RMA it, probably you have a defective unit.

I can't find it in the device manager, how is it called and in which category is it?

@Johnzilla97 I think I fixed the problem. I changed the cable going from the Lightning Node Pro to the LED's and right now nothing weird is happening and the colors seem to look a lot brighter.

 

When something weird starts happening again, I will let you know. So far it works.

Good to know you got it solved!

Some Corsair devices are a bit picky with the accessories you plug to them, that just proves it once more.
