Introdução

If the LEDs on your Logitech G X56 HOTAS Throttle flicker, dim, or stop working—whether individually or in entire sections—it may be due to a failing LED board. This guide will walk you through the steps to replace one or multiple LED boards to restore consistent illumination. Before beginning, ensure the throttle is not set to a lighting or power setting that could cause flickering, as some effects may be software-controlled rather than hardware-related.

If you're unfamiliar with soldering, please review the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide and take appropriate precautions before beginning.
