Rotor LED

[Alex R]

Hi, I have a problem with my Rotor, the LED is for some reason no longer functioning. It's an original first version, bought from new by myself. The light stopped been lit yesterday afternoon, I've tried various new batteries, but with now joy. Does any one have any ideas on a possible cause please? The soldering seems fine with no signs of damage.

Thanks in advance,

Al

If you're handy with a soldering iron it should be easy to swap out. Have a look at Maplin, I got a couple of power buttons that fit mini boards and repaired them. LED's can and do burn out or just stop working over time.

Thanks for your response mate, I think I'll leave it as it is, knowing me I'll do more harm than good and it's not a major issue and I'm not sure if it is the LED or a connection as it can come on when it feels like it although I can't see and damage or corrosion, I'll just have to remember if it's switched on or not lol... I've spoken to Dye and they said it's not really worth the expense of a new board just for the LED.

Cheers,

Al

Hello Alex

I have read some where that you can turn the LED off on the rotor. I have tried a google search and only found a reply to the Dye USA site.

May be worth giving DYE UK a call tomorrow about it

By removing the black jumper, a piece of plastic with a connector across the LED terminals, the LED no longer illuminates. However, from the info from the originator, the LED worked but then stopped working. May not be the LED connector.

removal of the black jumper does turn off the led.

Does on mine...

Hello All

Just an update, I bought a new board from here, so all good now, may have a play around with the old board.

So leave the jumper in place or remove it to fix the problem?
