Hello,
I've got a fan controller (6-fan), and there is one particular fan that won't light up the LED on the fan controller no matter which position 1-6 that I plug it into, so I'd say it's obvious that the fan itself is what keeps the LED from lighting up.
The fan is a 250mm fan that has a black and red wire that was originally attached to a molex connexter. I cut off the molex connecter and attached the wires to a 3 pin female connecter that had 3 wires, black, red, yellow. I connected red to red, black to black, and I got rid of the yellow all together since there was nothing to connect it to. The fan works, the fan speed controller actually works slowing and speeding the fan up, but the LED doesn't.
On the fans PCB itself, I can see that where the black and red wires are soldered, there is a third spot that looks like it was meant to have another wire soldered. I tried making the LED on the fan controller come on by re-using the yellow wire and just touching it to that spot on the fans pcb, but nothing.
It's just an aesthetics thing I suppose, but is there any way to get this LED working, or am I just out of luck?
