| How do I use the Lumin Audio application from GGG? |

Well ..... I just finished wiring up one of the two LED panels I am going to use and was going to test it all out to make sure all the connections were solid. I plugged in the spare power supply and realized one of the extra 5V power cables were left dangling and made it's way into the fan on the back of the power supply. The result was a "click" and stuff stopped working. I am pretty sure the spare power supply is dead now since the fan no longer works and switching out the fan did not make any difference. I am hoping the actual LEDWiz PCB is good but I have no way to test since I am without another spare power supply. I was one step away of testing all my LEDs on one of my panels and this crap happens. I am a little "upset" now ..... uugghhh. Need to find another cheapy spare power supply from someone as my second spare one I found in my closet does not seem to work either. I plug in the second spare power supply and the fan comes on for about 2 seconds then goes off ..... that is it. No idea what that is about. Anyway, this is how my night ends tonight ..... :'( |

Why do you need a "spare" power supply to run your LEDWiz? Why not run it off your PC's power supply? |

Also, depending on the amount of LEDs you have hooked up, you can alternatively tap into the USB power on the LEDWiz, however IIRC, it has to be less than 500mA... |

Yeah I know I do not need a spare power supply but I really hate the idea of having a 5V line outside of my computer case. Might end up doing this now that the spare power supplies are all gone ..... Anyway, I need to power the LEDWiz from a 5V line instead of USB since I am connecting multiple LEDs together on one LEDWiz port. |

Are these just standard LED's? If so, the typical power consumption for one is 20mA, that would allow you to connect 25 LED's on the LEDWiz, without having to tap external power. |
