  • DarkSide UV Dimmable Rigid LED - Not working

    Hi all,

    I recently purchased some Darkside LED strip to lightup my case but I can't seem to get them to turn on. I've tried connecting to the 3 pin/ 4 pin power supply, 3/4 pin cha_fan on the motherboard as well with no luck. Am I missing something? here is what I have below:

    2x DarkSide 12" Connect Dimmable Rigid LED Strip - UV Rev4 (DS-0560)
    1x DarkSide Connect Dimmable 5.5" Modular LED Strip - UV Rev4
    3x DarkSide CONNECT Extension Cable
    1x DarkSide CONNECT 3-Way to 3-Pin
    1x fan speed controler

    Thanks

    It could be possible that the connector is not on the correct way around.

    An easy way to check is with a 9v battery, small wire on the positive side and another on negitive side. Push wire into each side of the connector. If no lights come on then reverse them and see if lights come on.
    If no lights then you got a dud.
    If yes lights come on with battery but not when plugged into the fan controller, ensure you have fan controller set > 6V.
    If you have no light at >6 volts, then check all light connectors. You may need to reverse the wires in the connectors.

        Lights work 100%, because I test every single one before shipping. So, we either dealing with voltage below required 6v or it could be bad extension cable.
