Viper Ultimate Coil whine & lights when charging


LightCrimsontodaycool507

When I first got my Viper Ultimate, I didn't notice any coil whine, but that was a good time ago now, and I can definitely hear the high pitched squeal that is unmistakably coil whine now. I heard it worst when it was charging, and that also coincided with the RGB lights not coming on to show charge level.

Now, I know coil whine itself is pretty normal and nothing to be worried about, it happens. Quality control, yada yada, we all know the drill.

BUT with that coil whine being a new thing, *and* the lights not coming on any more to show charge level (it still charges, can see that in Synapse)... is this a sign it's dying?

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Possibly. Is it still under warranty?

No, coils tends to whine, it’s not dying.

If you still have warranty, then you can submit a case with Razer Support: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/warranty-support/
