LEDs on USB microscope going crazy

Post by damavo »

Hi,

I recently bought a USB microscope from you and noticed that the LEDs tend to blink/be dimmer than usual as shown on the attached picture (in the best case it is approximately 1/3 of the regular intensity, for most of the wheel positions).

I have tested the camera by connecting it directly to a computer USB connector as well and a powered USB hub.

Is there anything to do to fix this ? sometimes it lights up again like normal when I move the cable or the back of the microscope's housing but it never last permanently.

Thanks

Daniel
