hello
got myself a coolermaster cooldrive 3 a while ago but just noticed the right hand LED has stopped working - the left hand one is stil working though - so i don't think its my dodgy power wiring...
if it is the LED thats broken, it involves rmaing the cooldrive, which of course has a hdd in it and i don't have the time to spare to take it apart, etc.
any obvious reason why it would stop working?
cheers

The only reason I can think of that would cause an LED to break would be too much voltage or current :confused:
hmm
i 7ved the cooldrive to decrease the fan speed....

I produce boxes for a living and have seen led's just die for no apparant reason. They are normally easy to replace...
Hope that helps..
not too sure what a cooldrive is tbh ( how they work ) but depending on how its wired up 7volts might not be enough, if they run on seris? try 12 volts and see if it lights up ?Quote:

if it does, you got ya answer :)
if not buy a new LED
I would imagine that the led needs more juice. :)

i'll experiment with 12v

yeh - they can wear out, the flashing ones go first then the always on - but were talking abut years, unless you got dodgy ones o rstuck too many volts thru ;)
