Recently purchased a Khadas VIM from gearbest and very happy with the delivery speed of the item.
After getting the Vim configured with LibreELEC installed on emmc, I noticed that the LED lights wasn’t working. I emailed Khadas and they suggested to try an official Android rom.
I installed “Vim_Nougat_Root_1706122” and while that upgraded the uboot that was installed, Still the LED lights didn’t work.
Could this be a hardware fault? are there any commands that I can run to test the LED works?
You can try to flash the ROM Vim_Marshmallow_Root_170603 and control the menu 'Settings->LED’
Have a try, Thanks! We will add control menu for LED on next release nougat ROM.
Still I can’t check out whether the LED component is right soldered or not, it seems that the LED has already been broken down, can you kindly check it again:
@Gouwa Nope there isn’t any LED when I power off either. I can give it ago with the multimeter ( I have one here somewhere) I would say I’m more of a normal user.
Would I need to contact GearBest about getting a replacement?
Hello j0nnymoe, Your meter is set to measure A/C voltage. For testing the LED’s voltage, it needs to be set to DC 20 volt range. That function setting is indicated by a bar over three dashes.
Hope it helps.
@RDFTKV Thanks for pointing that out, I have to be honest, never used a multi meter…Ha. I’ll open up the khadas again soon and will test the LED again.
We all start somewhere.
Meters are handy to have for all skill levels, from beginner to professional. Glad you have a meter.
Hope you get the LED problem resolved.
