Rob Merritt Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Last night I turned on my GSP and the rainbow lights on the console are flickering. The system works fine otherwise. It just really distracting. I tried to take a video of it, but it didn't come out well. Any ideas for a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Is it doing on the controllers as well or just the console? If you change it to one of the solid colors (white or orange), does it still flicker? For reference, if you press and hold the Menu button on the controller, it will change the color and pattern on both the controller and the console. Unfortunately, there's no "Off" option. 🙁 Edited March 28 by Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the flicker and the colors not changing on the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the flicker and the colors not changing on the console. I tried reflashing 1.3 last night. Nothing changed. I think the lights are just messed up. Not a big deal. The device still plays games which is the important part. Thanks for your suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanner Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) The lights are the same as the lamps from China that change different colours(Orange, Red, Purple, Green, Blue and so on and change it to do rainbow colours so cycle though all the colours), it probably uses the same LEDs, I have one of them lamps next to my bed, you have to charge it for it to work, you press the top of the lamp to turn it on and change its colours. And the LEDs are controlled by the firmware, they do not work if you flash the firmware wrong and if the console does not boot. Can the LEDs on the console be changed to white, it would be less distracting ...? Edited May 8 by Spanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
