Lian Li O11D XL front LED strip has problems.
Thanks for the well-organized images. It makes it easier to understand. Do you have any part that connects via a SATA power cable, like a hard drive? Try connecting that cable to see if it powers up. Look for a manual RGB button and make sure it isn’t stuck or improperly connected. Also, double-check the manual for instructions on plugging in and using the LED strip. Since this appears to be a recent build, you might want to consider returning it for a replacement or exchange, as the strip is part of the case and not functioning well. Good luck!
You’ve already explored several troubleshooting methods. Since your SSD is connected via the same SATA power cable and functions correctly, the issue likely lies elsewhere. You’ve confirmed the cable isn’t the problem by swapping it and even tested a different D_LED header. The ARGB strip initially worked but failed after rearranging fans and hub connections. Keep testing isolated components to pinpoint the exact cause.
You're referring to the front ARGB header ceasing to function when connected directly, possibly due to the hub consuming excessive power from the motherboard header and stressing the regulator circuit. The issue might stem from the hub itself rather than the strip.
You previously had a separate setup where fans and RGBs were linked through a hub. Recently, you attempted to connect everything together for simultaneous control but encountered issues with the front header RGB not working. You tried connecting it separately, but it still didn’t function properly without using the hub. There’s another picture available for reference.
It's likely the hub has a limit on how many LEDs it can activate and the header is now inactive. Start by disconnecting all RGB components to test the system. Then power down everything and test one device at a time, plugging it in, testing, and removing it. Continue this process until you identify the working device. For non-functional items, try connecting them elsewhere or consider replacing them entirely. If the header remains unresponsive, clearing the CMOS memory might help. If that doesn't work, replacing the motherboard could be necessary, which is expensive for a single RGB header. Good luck!
