So I was trying to troubleshoot my RGB controller not working. After using the motherboard manufacturer's RGB software, it had stopped doing anything, so I was trying to mess with the software to make the RGB controller work. So I pressed a few buttons and it worked for a few seconds, but after I went through a few RGB settings it stopped working. I was confused and pressing a few buttons, trying to disconnect and reconnect it to the ARGB header on my motherboard when I suddenly felt something really hot against my finger, a glow on the RGB controller, and a little smoke. I ripped out all the power connectors from the RGB controller and partly ripped out the 3-pin-ARGB to motherboard connector of it in the process of unplugging it. I am now unable to activate RGB because I would need an RGB hub to do that. I believe that I should be given a replacement RGB controller to fix the issue.

I purchased the 3 fans + controller + hub from Micro Center a while ago and they had worked fine until today.

Dear otherworldlynob,

Sorry to hear that. There are two possibility to cause the controller on fire.
1. The plug of the DRGB (5v) controller connects to RGB slot(12v) of the motherboard.
2. The plug of the DRGB (5v) controller connects in contrast to the DRGB (5v) of the motherboard.
Please send the photo to show how did you connect the plug to the motherboard and receipt of this product to below email address, we will check and reply you ASAP.
