Thanks TGS! It means alot when I do something way out of my comfort zone and a senior modder like yourself likes it. Same for the rest that have been reading. I'm tring to do more with each mod I do.Quote:

you could possibly pull out the resistor and led from another foot and check that one.
did you have it hooked to 12v and it was supposed to be hooked to 5v?
There is no way unless it was wired wrong. It hooks up via a Molex connector.
ok, i couldn't see that part in your pic. in that case, i'd try and send them back for a replacements instead of trying to repair.
FrozenCPU won't take it back because I resleeved it. I don't think Logisys will either.
oh yeah, that sort of voids warranties, lol.
i'm going back to my original suggestion of checking what value one of the other resistors is then
typically though if it was say a 220 ohm resistor (for a single LED on 5V) and it was hooked to 12v, it'd blow the LED not the resistor. Unless it was a REALLY small wattage resistor, but I've used 1/8w resistors with LEDs with zero issues. Something must have shorted somewhere.
yeah, true, i hadn't really thought about that.
although i am wondering, since they were taken apart to be sleeved, did the 5v and 12v wires get put back wrong?
crap, nevermind. that still would play out just like you mentioned above.
There are lots of reviews on Newegg about this happening. So I know I didn't screw up.
in that case Logysis should take them back
