Hey Tack,
Day 2 after computer was Completely powered off and yay! they work again today. I'm going to try to put it on sleep next go around. (now that im here whining on the forums, its going to be a champ, then when i walk away, it'll stop working.
To answer your question, the lights either work when i turn on the computer, which i know they are working because i get the smaller warning box (its that pump warning) or they don't.
I believe that must have been that fancy little circuit board they had to add that was mentioned in another one of the threads with the same error code. One of the users jerry rigged something like that and got his lights working. I believe a TT rep associated this with a AMD issue, something to do with changes AMD made and did not tell them about til after the product was launched.
I was planning on shifting some of my parts around all my various computers as I'm re-purposing some mining rigs. One of those changes was to swap in a new power supply to this computer with the TT Plus Lights. If i think about it while puttering around, maybe i'll swap the power cables and see if i can get it to work to at least confirm its not the power cables.
Also, just for those searching threads because they have similar problems... always TRIPLE CHECK YOUR MOLEX CONNECTORS. I had a friend with a similar issue and it was his MOLEX that was issue. Those plugs often push the pins out and in case anyone from product development is reading this - STOP USING MOLEX. I was disappointed when i saw that was the power connector with this controller. It makes your product appear and feel cheap when i see that. They never seat properly, you almost always have to force the pins together, and they first came out more than 20 years ago... (I'm aware they still put those stupid power connectors for OLD OLD OLD disk drives on some power supplies. Does anyone even use those anymore? but i digress. )
Thank you for your reply and efforts in trying to help Tack!
