Posted October 6, 2019 So I just realized that one of my LED in my keyboard is not working properly. Upon inspection I came to the conclusion that the green light or diode [whatever it is called] is not working. The switch is fine and blue light does work from the same LED. It's just the green that's gone bad. My keyboard is Motospeed CK104 Outemu Blue. Can I replace the LED or something??? I really want it to work properly. It's kind of an OCD thing for me that the LED on one switch is not working. Please advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2019 Get an RMA. The LEDs on RGB keyboards are usually SMD, so don't expect to be able to do anything. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LEDs are tiny and SMD, so replacing them will be difficult. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet someone can do that if I find LEDs right? I mean electricians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are difficult to change, not that expensive. 1 hour ago, Gautam.Dey said: On 10/7/2019 at 8:43 AM, thrasher_565 said: you could but it will cost more then buying a new keyboard.... Really?

My friend had similar problem, local electrician was reluctant to do it, but after checking it out he did it in a half an hour or so, not sure, asked 10 euros for it, but it really depends on the guy.

Posted October 8, 2019 Author I'll ask my local electrician if he could change it or not. If it's too expensive, I guess I'll have to do it with a bad LED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
