I recently used my Blackwidow V3 (bought May of 2021) for the first time in a while and I noticed that the slow cycling of colors was a little wrong on the X key. Looking at it more closely, and changing the colors to static ones, I think the blue LED on that key is either dying or dead. Is there a way to replace this? It’s kind of unfortunate that it’s happened not that long after buying it - 3 years doesn’t seem like a long time?
Thanks!
Only soldering new LED will help here.
Hrm yeah that’s what I was afraid of. I have a soldering iron and have done some very small repairs of other things myself. Is that something I can do myself, or is it difficult? Also, what LED should I be looking for to replace it?
Should be 6028 SMD LED like this on aliexpress
But to be 100% sure you need to dissasemble the PCB and check which LED PIN variant is matching the pin mark on PCB board.
