Zalman ZM-MFC1 Fan Controller Not working

[patdee]

Hi I have just installed a Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus Black Multi Fan Controller what I got from scan, plugged it all in and it works fine controling the speen of the fans but the LED lights on the front dont work??
Do I need to send it back? Gonna be up the creek if I do coz I have it connected to the fans on my radiator.

I've got the same controller, you have plugged in the power molex to the psu? (Stupid question I know).

All the led light up on the fans I have connected to show they are operational. Have a look at the led connector, it may be lose.

Yeah the power plug is in ok, also all the fans are plugged in fine, Then fans run ok, and slow down when the knobs are turned, its just that the 6 lights on the front dont come on?

Sounds like it's the pcb connecting the led's to the front, are there any loose wires around that circuit board? If not, then you're left with two choices, a) remove the controller and rma it, or b) just put up with it not lighting up, the important part is working, as you can control the fans ok.

Me, I'd put up with it (pretend it's in stealth mode).

Doesnt look like there is anything loose, looks like i've have to send it back.
