dsullivan539 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I bought the RGB strip expansion kit to pair with my LNP. Plugged into LNP channel 1 or 2 the strips do not light at all. I have 5 fans connected to the corsair fan hub connected to the LNP that light up and are fully controllable from either channel on the LNP. The LNP came with my fans when I bought the 2x 140ML RGB + LNP package on amazon. I've tried connecting all 4 strips daisy chained to either channel on the LNP with no results. I've tried multiple strips just a single strip connected to either channel on the LNP but no bueno. I've gone into CUE and added the channel for the strips and tried to turn them on that while while connected to the LNP but no luck. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If plug in the strips into a port where the fans were configured and not getting anything, that means one or more strips are faulty. Try each strip individually. It seems when people have issues like this, they always got the problematic part from Amazon. I bet kids or blowing the strips with a 12v header, then "return them". I would contact Amazon for an exchange if you tested in the manner I suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried 2 of the strips just plugging the strip itself directly into the LNP and they do not come on at all. Looks like I'll be getting an exchange from amazon....

The strips are a very simple device. If the fans are working fine connected to the same port, on the same LNP, with the same settings in iCUE, then you plug in the strips and the strips don't work. This means your strips are the problem. The LEDs in all but the SP-120 match throughout all the fans and strips. The only difference is really how many LEDs in each device and changing the device type in iCue changes the count and this is how you get the organized effects. It is looking like something is wrong the strips. Though if anything I said seems different than what you tried, then give that shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ones I've also hooked up to the LNP, tried both slots - again fans still work perfectly hooked into either channel. The lights on the strips come on and flicker, seems like they are trying to work but just flicker the colors they should be showing. Even set to just statitc red the lights flicker on/off like 5x a second. Super frustrating at this point I wonder if it's the LNP at fault.

So I swapped the LNP out for the spare I had because I bot 2 2packs of those fans. The strips now work perfectly on the new LNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyV Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 So LNP #1 is not functioning properly. Have you tried updating it's firmware? Just re-flashing the current version may cause it to start working properly. Maybe worth a try before RMA process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
