Jpd Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My leds seem to have stopped working on the right side of the wheel. They were working when I left the house for a short ride and by the time I got back they were not. I have opened the wheel to check for loose connections, but can’t find any. Any ideas? https://photos.app.goo.gl/zFLw99rMSAN4xJby9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely that there's a problem on the control board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) The ring light on my Mten3 is erratic, sometimes fully working and other times lighting in strange ways. When I had to work on the wheel I could see the quality was very poor. The rear strip light on one of my ACM's sometimes is off, but then will starting working again. Fortunately it works most of the time. I see reports on KingSong ring LED's failing, and Inmotion too. So it's not just a Gotway thing.

I do like to ride quite a bit at night, so the leds are nice for being more visible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy replacement LEDs, and if you bought it from EWheels you should be able to get one from Jason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Torralva Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have exactly the same problem. I bought the 4 new strips and when placing them externally I check that none of them work. I put the old ones back and it only shows one side, but it cannot be controlled. If you come to discover something, I would appreciate it if you could tell me, and the same for me. Only I am very lazy to have to disassemble the practically entire wheel to replace the LEDs. Thanks, e best regards. Ator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadler Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have same issue. Anyone know how to replace the strips? Is there a breakdown/take apart of the MSX 84v anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
