mine is doing the same thing.

If you flex the hand controller a little (ie bend it either way) does it light up?

If you find out who can fix it, let me know asap!

nope not at all im going 2 see a mate thats an auto electrician see if he has any answers

ive heard of this issue, the only logical thing i can think of is somehow the internal power source for the backlit is toast on the FC itself

but that makes no sense because i can power up a hand controller off a usb port and the buttons and display get local power from the same wiring

so i have no idea

how did you get it to power up from a usb port?

Please explain this, as I'll be able to sit down and fix mine by simply plugging it into a USB hub or something, without having to get in and out of the car to test it.

hey

i cut the plug off and just played guess the wires and eventually got it

it just needs 5v + and negative to crank up

it wont boot to the apexi logo as its waiting for CLK and check signals but the lights come on

you could if you really wanted get a PS2 female cable, chop the end and wire it to a usb plug

that way you dont have to cut the end off your normal good working hand controller

i just chopped the end on my one as it didnt care about it cos it was already toast

let me see tonight if the usb plug is still fitted, i could get the pin out config if i do so u can do it yourself

just be careful not to bridge the wires otherwise windows disables the hub and you have to reboot (well i did cos it has my mouse on it)

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
