Title: [help] AMJ pad led not working
Post by: Munnybear on Fri, 07 October 2016, 14:43:35

Hi,

I have an AMJ number pad that works fine with no led. However, when I tried to add LED to the num lock it wouldn't light up. I only want to tell if the num lock is on. Much appreciated for any helps!

I am thinking if this has anything to do with the firmware as I did flush it with my custom configs and I did not write anything for lighting...

Sounds likely, that or the LED is in backwards?

Pretty sure it was... long end through the square hole... right?

That's the standard polarity.

Did you test the LED before you installed it?  Did you also install a resistor?
