when there are 2 posts ppl usualy reply...

 

LOL, well if the controller is burnt out, what do you expect........

Cathodes require to be connected to an inverter, these can run from 5vdc to 12vdc and generate in excess of 200v, so I wouldn't start playing around with it as it will give you a nice belt........

Just buy a new set, they are cheap enough................

 

im not wasting another 20 bux knowing already that the chip is cheap a hunk of shit , and its the onli place i know that sells em in my area , and i might consider buyin from the net if they accept saving cards

 

Well don't buy another then....................what are your alternatives?
From what I can see you have none other than replace them or bin them........

You maybe able to buy another set and wire them in parallel and then have 4 going, but I would presume that would burn it out eventually...................

 

thats gay!

 

What were you expecting, an email or something that would fix your 'chip'................, or maybe the use of my telepathic powers (like Jesus) to heal your failed chip.............

 

dude , i dont exept some hippe crap like that , im just askin if i can just hook it up without the chip , and if ur asking about wat i said (THATS GAY!) its called a reply
