Phanteks RGB Lighting issues

IAR117 · July 28, 2017

I'm not sure if this is supposed to go here, but I'm putting it here. I recently built my PC inside of a P400S TG. The included light strip worked and my PSU was faulty. It stopped working after a week so I replaced it. So I just finished wiring t up and the computer runs fine, but I noticed my RGB strip wasnt working. Nor was the light up power button and lighting on the bottom of the case. I did what the instructions said. The instruction were on the wire itself and still it didn't work. After trying other things like plugging the lights into different sockets, it still didn't work. HELP PLEASE. TIA

Could the faulty PSU have fried it?

The RGB strip is connected to the case lighting header, and that is connected to a SATA power cable?

Ok then, I'm in front of my PC and all the RGB strip is connected to is this-

I can't remember plugging it into any other power cables. Which one is the SATA power cable? The only SATA power cable that comes to mind is the one powering my SSD. Does it connect to my motherboard? There is a short 4 pin female connector at the end of the RGB strip.

That is how you connect RGB strips together. If you trace that back to where it came from, you should find the controller. It's powered by SATA, just like your SSD. Plug it into your PSU and it should work. On my Evolv, the SATA connector was just dangling in the back of the case.
