The fan hub arrived with poor adhesive that detached during use. While connecting my Galahad 360 SL120 edition, everything seemed normal except for the lack of RGB control via L-connect. The hub’s build quality was extremely low—RGB headers kept slipping and didn’t fully secure. The magnet lacked strength and depended on weak adhesive on both sides. Eventually, a loose adhesive caused a fan hub drop, disconnecting one RGB header. After restarting, the pump and fans still didn’t light up properly. I spent many hours troubleshooting online before deciding to try again today. So far, I haven’t restored power, and I’m seeking solutions or fixes myself.

Could have dropped another cable accidentally. “Is it plugged in” usually looks like it’s connected but not working. Take it out and reinsert firmly. For the sticky issue, I recommend a roll of 3m double-sided tape (any hardware shop should have it) along with high-purity isopropyl alcohol (90% concentration works well) and a wipe cloth. Clean the surfaces you plan to tape. It seems the real issue might have been a residue of factory oil or machine grease. Use rubbing alcohol to remove it—there’s a product called Goof Off that dissolves most adhesives, though it’s quite harsh. Wear protective gloves; it can cut through skin and isn’t safe for long-term use. Avoid using it on painted areas. An open window could help too. If you need extra durability, consider using foam tape—it sticks better and holds up better.

Disconnect everything and double-check security before powering it back on... still nothing.

The pump connects to a power source, such as a power supply unit or a wall outlet. It may also link to a storage device like a hard drive or SSD via a SATA cable adapter. Depending on the setup, it could interface with a specific controller or peripheral device.

I deleted that since escaping power could be slow, but I spent too much time on it.

If the wall power is stable, we check if the PSU is delivering energy, and then verify if the pump is receiving it.

It needs 12 volts, but its current source isn’t clear. There could be several possibilities.

Is this the main pup or just the RGB pump? They used to be entirely separate.
