nikeymikey Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I’ve just noticed that the blue leds are not lighting up on my X3 control panel bios bank switch buttons. They should light up blue when pressed in (on). Anyone come across this before? Know how I can fix it?? Ill take it apart and see if theres a lose cable cable or similar but that won’t be for a few days....

I myself have one, and have noticed flickering sometimes when pressing buttons. X3 bios even flickers bios banks sometimes doing the same thing....thats the only thing i can assume, because i just rebuilt my x3 pro switch cable.

nikeymikey Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 It is the same as the pro switch but is part of the x3 control panel so o would expect the wiring to be the same. I just have none of the blue leds lighting up at all on the buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemeanie23 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Big variations between the proswitch and x3 bank switch pcbs Wiring, component locations, and trace routes for starters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikeymikey Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ok thanks for that, I’m honoured and will make sure I tell my grandchildren this story on my deathbed. ON TOPIC: I had removed the front plate to install a power led mod so I checked all the wiring. I couldn’t see any cracks in the solder joints or breaks in the wires so I just put it all back together again and hey presto it worked!! Fuck knows what caused it to not work but it’s fixed now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 That can be a problem with some of the connectors in use today as I am sure that some of the connectors are only ment to be connected once and never disconected and reconectd again. Then you get some company's that also glue the connectors together with anti tamper paint to really pissoff the tech working on the device.

maquis2370 Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Something similar happened to me. I hit the solder points on the underside of the switchboard itself. I did not see anything obvious. Seemed to work though. In my case, they were not completely dead to begin with. They were not staying on consistently.
