Saitek Eclipse Issue

[-=WooDWorKeR420=-]

The caps lock LED on my Saitek Eclipse is all messed up for some reason. The light never goes off, weather caps lock is off or not. Sometimes the light flickers and does all sorts of weird things, even when I have put my PC to sleep.

Has anyone experianced this, or anything like it? Would Saitek replace the unit (its only about 5-6mo old)

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I had problems with my Saitek Eclipse earlier as well. A group of keys would randomly stop responding to input and some of the LEDs lighting up at strange times. When I opened it up I found that there is a ground wire mounted to the PCB by a screw and it was rather loose. After tightening it, the key problems went away. Not sure if you're comfortable taking apart your keyboard, but if the LED is a problem and Saitek will RMA it, I'd suggest that route.

Thanks for the response, I guess I should contact Saitek first before opening it up. See what they have to say, and then like you mentioned if they wont RMA it, then crack that baby open.
