Hey, I just installed 4 Cathode's swith 2 Inverters. Only half the neon(s) light up. I disconnected 2 Of them, And only left 2 And the same problem? So I don't know if it's a power thing.

Any helps appreciated.

Are you chaining the inverters together? That wouldn't be such a clever thing to do, you'd be overloading them, which is very bad cos the inverters are very cheap. Make sure each inverter has its own connection from the PSU. smile.gif

Which wouldn't make any difference unless you have multiple 12v rails within your PSU. What kind of PSU do you have? Sounds like they just aren't getting enough power or are cheaply made.

I've got a 500W Psu,
Specs Are:
3500+
6600GT
250GB Sata HD
2x DVD Burners
2x 120MM Fans
And the usual cpu fan.

500W Seems more then enough. By the way, All 4 Neons use 2 Inverters. There not chained, Both have seperate links to the pus, But could I be using a lesser powered PSU Connection? E.g Something reccomended for a fan?

- Edit

Nevermind, Slight Wiring Problem. Fixed! Pics will be up soon wink.gif After I get some UV Reactive cables and LED Fans wink.gif
