LED problem on my RACE
« on: Sat, 17 November 2012, 00:17:46 »
Hello anyone/everyone!

Have any of you had this problem with your Race or other backlit boards?

My LEDs from F10 across to my Delete key are dim and flickering. I'm assuming this can't be a problem with the actual LEDs as it would have to be a huge coincidence for 5 or so LEDs to all get the same problem at the same time. So this makes me think its some problem with the board.  Are these LEDs wired is series or parallel?  Would a problem at one LED continue through the rest of the row?  And most importantly can it be fixed?  It makes me sad as its my first mechanical and I've only had it since late September.

Thanks guys!  Cheers.

Isn't this a known problem?
