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!

AH this is the mystery sent it back & they tried it on there powerfc worked fine must be something to do with powerfc itself maybe plug faulty

[madaz R33]

just had a thought, has anyone tried going into the 4th mode-Etc and adjusting their LCD/LED adjustment???

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)
