Let me begin that I have already contacted Customer Support and sent my saber to be fixed. I just want to see if there is anyone else with this issue and maybe there is something that I have missed. My amber portion of my RGBA LED did not light up, I have received the saber back and the problem still persists (I have contacted CS again about this, I'm patient it'll get fixed eventually). When I used the amber color as a clash or blast setting it works just fine. I have adjusted the color settings for the dies, but there is no die 4 so I adjust the crystal settings when using the Config editor. It can't be another bad amber LED can it? Thanks, btw the CS response to my initial problem was prompt and I am not trying to circumvent CS I just want to know if someone else is having or has had this problem and a fix for it besides sending the saber back again.

I personally have not heard of this being a problem before. If the LED die is working normally but just isn't in the editting section, it may actually be a bad config file or something on the SD card as well. Have you loaded anything on it, or done any file editting on the computer? Maybe try reloading it back to default settings, if you have.

I followed pretty much what the manual suggests, format the SD card, transferring files one folder at a time, etc. The board was replaced and some of the issues I had with certain fonts not working have gone away, with the exception of the essence fonts (I'll take 4 out of six fonts any day) It is a Bane so the live editing is not an option (it is painfully aggravating) so I have to use the config editor and directly edit the files. The one time I used the live editing the saber would light up amber, but when I went to normal use the amber did not light up.

Hi,
Did you check parameter of "c4percent" in "master" tab?
It controls Amber LED output and should be 90 or so.

iirc the master tab was set to 75% for all four and 30% for power saving. I am at work I have to wait to give this a shot, I'll update if it makes a difference or not. Thanks!

C1-4percent can be 95% Max. And it will become brighter.
I did so and have had no problems.
If this can't solve the problem, please buy branded SD card like Sandisk, Sony and so on.
My hero Venom had unstable problems with non branded SD card originally come from SF, they were gone after I replaced SD card.
Cheers!

Yeah, I had problems with my fonts "locking up" I bought an 8GB SanDisk put it in and the font problems went away. I think that should be in the FAQ under known problems/fixes ;)

Changing the power settings in the master tab did not change anything. It is set for custom settings is there a particular LED Drive setting to use other than custom? It seems that I will ship it back tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that.
And I have no idea anymore. There might be some wiring or board disorder. :pinch:
