But it still works fine?  Just no rgb? 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Just tried it to no avail

Either dead LED's or crappy firmware 

I don't think it matters either way 

Rma is not worth it imo

No just edit it or wait until mods merge it or report it

Dying something anyway. LEDs have horrendously long duty cycles.  It sounds like they’re not getting enough power or too much power which trips something.  Is there a controller box or something?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Rgb often has a little box the fan leds plug into rather than the motherboard.  Not all systems have them.
