Question I have a power supply from Gamemax and the rgb lights on it no longer work.

[dapier61]

I had some really bad parts in my pc, and I wanted to replace them. The rgb lights in the power supply worked completely fine. I got some newer better parts to make my pc run faster, and the pc did run faster, but the rgb lights in the power supply started acting funky. They would turn on when I booted the pc sometimes, and other times, they wouldn't turn on at all. Now, they just don't work. I did everything I could think of. I went to the bios to make sure everything had the correct power, made sure every cable was plugged in correctly, I even searched online for a solution and could find absolutely nothing. Can someone please help me with this issue?

The issue could simply be the RGB lights are dying/dead.

I don't know much about the brand, but from Googling their name, it seems like they really aren't the best quality stuff. To me it looks like they pretty much have pretty lights the some builders want, but outside of that they don't seem like they offer much else.

Maybe try and RMA the power supply (or live without the RGB).
