Only 1 RGB strip out of 4 works after firmware update.

[badalice]

Till 2 days ago... everything was fine.
Then I got a firmware update for my Lightning Node and iCUE update.

And this is what I ended up with:

I have 4 RGB strips connected to Lightning node pro link 2.
The effect runs for around 2 minutes and then 3/4 freeze.
So i have LEDS in order 1-2-3-4.
When it freezes:
1 - works
2 - freeze
3 - freeze
4 - freeze

When I unplug them and plug them in, only 1st one works.
When I change to 2 strips or 6 or 5 or whatever still only 1st strip works.

Restart doesn't help. Strips are stuck even during restart.

My 6 x LL120 Fans on Link 1 are working fine...

Now I wonder... anyone else have an issue like that?
Maybe someone has an old firmware for Lightning node?
Is there an option to go back to previous version at all?

I really hope so, because we all spend a lot of money to have things like that and having an issue like that makes my blood boil.

Thanks in advance for any response.

PS. Reinstalling iCUE didnt help, i got into same situation just right after.

Have you tried rearranging them?

[badalice]

No, I didn't try, but I will and let You know the outcome. I still believe it's software related, especially that it was working just fine before updating.

Hi DevBiker,

I've made my tests. I turned off the 1st strip. The 3 were working without any issues for few hours now.
I connected then the 1st strip as 3rd strip.
If You can imagine the 4th LED strip froze.

Anyway I've contacted Support to get a replacement.
The faulty strip has also 2 leds not working and 2 stuck at one colour.

Thanks for suggesting me to swap them.

Glad that we got it figured out! It did sound like a bad strip.
