    Posted: 31 Dec 2021 at 10:40am
Hello, I recently bought a Digital Storm Velox X pc. I have the remote that it came with. It also has a big led strip and custom hard line water cooling. My remote works(I can see the infrared light), but it doesn't change anything in the pc. Also no matter what I use, ICUE, Digital Storm Control center, nothing works. It just cycles through all of these random presets. I did add in my old drives(4tb and 240gb), to have all of my files and the pc works fine but I just do not have any RGB control no matter what I do.

            -Thank You

Seems if you can see a light it should work. Inside the remote, there is a bit of plastic over the battery that you have to remove. Did you do that? There should be a set of (kinda obscure) instructions how to work the remote. Do you have those?

Here's the ones I have:

You might check the wires and leads from all that gear to be sure no motherboard contacts came loose in transit, but other than that, I got nothin', sorry.   

It's been awhile since I've seen anything from him, but

invited troubleshooting questions be e-mailed to him.

There was no plastic when I checked and the remote does flash red but still doesn't control the lighting. What cables could be disconnected?

Did you ever get this fixed? I just received my device and i can't get the colors to change at all. It's stuck at a solid white. The controller seems to be working because i see a red LED light from the remote everytime i press something. It's almost like it's not synced to the device. I asked support and they said to hold the lock but it did nothing...

Not sure if this is the right place. Can someone tell me if it is possible to turn off the RGB light that goes around the inside of the computer. I just don't like or need any more lights.

Thanks, cusafr

If they came with a remote, it has an off button. The remote comes in the box of extra parts, in an anti-static bag that hides what it is. You might hav overlooked it. If it does'nt seem to work, there is a button type battery inside that has a plastic cover to remove before use.

If all that fails, run backwards from the wires attached and simply unplug where they go into the motherboard.

Happy trails.   

An instruction set for the remote is linked in my post above.

Cretae. Thanks for your reply. I have the remote and I can turn the lights off. However, I have to do this every time I start the computer. I was trying to turn them off permanently. So, I will try your advice and trace the the wires back to the motherboard. Thanks again, cusafr
