LCD, Front, and Rear fan. Defective maybe?

[strudel]

:confused: I got the elite case a couple days ago. The LCD screen seems to be "reseting" every few seconds and showing all icons and numbers show 8s and the front and rear fan are turning off for a split second. I get no temp reads and the few seconds that I have to click the top button and get to SYS it says the fan isn't spinning but it is. Today I tried to change the battery(C2032) and that didn't fix anything. I noticed also that when I left the computer off for a few hours and turned it back on before it blinked the first time the clock said around 2:00 and when it "reset" it went back to
12:00.

NZXT Dood told me to email rma but in most of the threads I have seen it takes a long time to get a reply. I am wanting to know if there is a way to fix this without getting a new LCD panel since it takes awhile for that to happen. If anyone has came across this same issue and solved it without replacing please let me know. If you had to get a replacement an estimated time of when you got the part after emailing rma.

Thanks in advance.

Well nevermind on this post I found out what happen. I had a cathode light in the case and the power wire had one pin that had pushed out of the back of the plug preventing contact. If anyone has this same problem check all power wires and make sure all connections are plugged in.

P.S NZXT DOOD please let rma know that I do not need a replacement LCD. Thanks!

THIS IS NOW THE KICK *** CASE THAT I WANTED!

Well I have one more question. Everything works but I'm getting (!) for system and no fan display. The fan is up and running though. It shows temp is 35C I placed it in the GPU under the fins. Oh and the display dims every now and then is this normal? My voltage is good 500w PSU.

definitely not normal no

hello, when you say "no fan display" do you mean to say that you don't see half circle symbol that displays the speed of the fans? You should check your 3 pin connections to the front and rear fans. Thanks!

Yes no half circles and flashing (!). It shows fan isn't spinning and the temp alarm is flashing. This is only on the SYS channel. On the HDD channel there is (!) but not flashing is this always up? HDD: no matter what I set the temp alarm at the fan never goes above 3 half circles mostly not going over 2. It will not go to full speed. And I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but I messed up the CPU sensor and ordering another but the SYS has always shown this.

Addition to the questions above. I have a Nvidia 7800 OC and my temp disply in GPU program shows 46C when the LCD shows 37C. If anyone knows the hottest place I could put the sensor without damage to it. I'm not real sure how this sensor thing works if it wont give me accurate readings. It makes the fans run at speeds not matching the "real" temp. Should I just lower the alarms to get it close?
