I just bought 400i unit. It has a yellow plastic strip stuck in the controller unit. What do I do with it ? Thanks

Get a good grip on the end of it and give it a yank. It's a strip between the internal back-up battery and its contact. It prevents the b/u battery from draining between when it was manufactured and when you install it.

My unit was stuck on red and I disconnected the LED wires and powered the controller up with no lights attached. I then turned it off and reconnected the wires and got it out of the red mode. My unit is now stuck on the color changing cycle. I can't figure out if it's the remote or the controller causing the issue. I have given up and ordered a different LED RGB controller.

You're probably best buying a new controller w/ remote so you know they work together. This one look like it's the same one though, so it might work: http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Remote-Controller-LED-Strip/dp/B004IJFAMW/ref=pd_sim_hi_9#productDetails

It didn't on mine. I would look up model and call a phantom dealer as I don't think the seller goes out of their way to mention there are two types of controller. Plus they were a pain to return an item and never received a refund.

Try unplugging the controller from the outlet. Let it reset for 30 seconds or so and plug it back in. I use this unit regularly on projects and that has worked for me in the past.

You'll need to pick up an 12v power supply. After that you just screw the wires into the bottom of the controller, red to red and black to black. It's pretty simple. you can pick up the power supply fairly cheap. If you have a 12v power supply with a plug already just cut the end off and strip the wires. Normally it's still red and black wire under the insulation.

It sounds like the controller is internally short-circuited. It cannot be repaired. It must be replaced.

I'm sorry but I do not use my controller that way. I imagine you can find the operating instructions online.

She has me unplug the unit, open the waste receptical and on each side of the end of the track there is a white plastic thing. on the side of it you can push and it "clicks". She had me do that 7 times on each side and then re-plug in. Ta-da!!!!! It worked again! Never heard or done that before and LM has replaced at least 3 for me in the past 5 years for not working! So next time your stuck...try this!

Return it the product does not work. I returned it and got a Logitech controller instead which works perfectly without any headaches. The controller you bought is a hunk of junk!

I agree with the other 2 answers. Throw out and get a new one and use correctly.

Bad circuit board, or controller. I have a new circuit board I could sell you. Sounds like a bad controller.

First, there is a small tap on the side of the remote controller that needs to be removed before it can be used. If you also purchase the cord and light fixture along with the light make sure the switch on the cord is in the ON position. I have ordered three of these with no problems. Make sure that plastic tab is pulled out on the controller, its easy to miss. If all these things are done, then you probably have a defective unity.

It's stupid.. Was there a resistor in your original unit (there was in mine). If so, you have to solder it in series with the wire that goes from one side of the unit to the other. Just look at the wiring diagram. Since I can't open mine and don't have the instructions, you just have to follow the diagram. Sorry I can't help more.

Morning Chad, I would have to surmise the Helicopter unit is defective upon arrival. If the Helicopter "binds" okay and all other functions work then I would assume you got a lemon from the factory. I also purchased this item couple weeks ago and had a defective unit with my "right servo" not functioning. Quickly do a RMA back to Amazon for a refund or exchange. There isn't much more You can do with these items to correct or fix.

You have to remove the screws from the back of the controller and remove the back. Be careful not to damage the wires inside. Then attach the lever from the inside. It works great! !

make sure power supply is 12v DC. make sure terminals have correct polarity (+/-). make sure remote has battery and is inside it properly. make sure strip is connected/plugged in properly to the controller. if after all that it still does not work, you probably got a faulty controller, and need to send it back
