Apollo87h RGB LEDs Flashing
I just plugged in my new Apollo87h, and I see that the bottom 3 rows of RBG LEDs seem to be flashing like crazy. Turning the brightness to the lowest value, makes the flashing go away. Any other brightness, causes the flashing. I tried re-flashing the firmware, to no avail (Reflash was successful, no issues). I figure this is a hardware issue. Is it something fixable? Video example attached.

Hard to tell from this photo, but the LED circled is one of the flashing ones, and when I max the brighter, it shows a slightly different color/shade, than all the others.
Bit better photo, caught mid flash
Bump
Is there anyone that can help with my issue?
I'll report this to Gondo, the creator, and apologize for the late response.
Thank you! Very much appreciated ๐
This LED is either malfunctioning or badly soldered
Thats why all LEDs after it are behaving weirdly
Thank you Gondolindrim! I already have a new board, but if I have time, I may try to re-solder the LED.
Highly recommend you take it to one of those places that fix cellphones - they have the right tools and expertise
These LEDs are known to be rather temperature sensitive and can be easily burned off if you don't have the method
Good point, I don't have any SMD equipement, just regular through-hole soldering tools.
I'd strongly advise against trying to fix it
