I don't know where to put this, I'm not asking for support or anything I just thought I would share. So I wanted to play a Jap game so I turned on my RGH, I have not used my RGH console in a number of months, after I turned it on I went to the bathroom, when I returned my whole room smelled like burning electronics. I have disconnected everything from the console and am currently about to take it apart to see what happened, I will update when I have more info. Update 1: I have LED lights installed, it appears that one of the LED lights wire's have melted, Maybe it was short circuited? Will post pictures. Update 2: Pictures of LED wires. One wire was even melted to the Fan Housing! Spoiler
looks like u needa put in something to decrease the voltage going to your lights (i actually know the term im just having a brain fart right now)
I bought the console with them installed, I have never had a problem with them until now. I bought the console back around christmas 2012 and used it heavily for the first 3 or 4 months. It looks like they are connected to the motherboard right under where the power plug is.
I just put it all back together since its working now xD I will take it apart again and try to get a pic or 2.
It's definitely the LED's and like Renegade pointed out - more then likely a voltage issue. I had a similar issue quite some time back with a bad capacitor & wrong wiring.
