Comment on Elegoo Neptune 3 no longer turns on

That LED is normally on. It’s been about a year since I’ve had the chassis open so I can’t recall if there are normally more than one on when it first boots up or if it’s only the one. Looking at the diagram it seems like it’s just a main power indicator.

Thanks for taking them time to respond. You may not have been able to fix the problem, but you’ve at least assured me there’s no other troubleshooting steps I can take until I hear from Elegoo.

I guess my DnD players will have to live with quarters and pen caps in lieu of customized minis. Haha.

I found this diagram for V2.2 which looks the same. The lit LED is D5 which is the one you mentioned on the 3rd page. It looks like it only indicates that the 5V to 3.3V regulator beside it is working and has power.

  That LED being lit at least more or less confirms that power is not the issue. Thanks for digging that up.

I read a lot into that “Haha”… like “They wont live that long anyway,”

  It’s my very first campaign. I’m actually afraid the combat and encounters are going to be laughably easy, since I’m running a premade campaign made for beginners and I don’t feel comfortable yet tweaking with monster stats.

    There’s nothing wrong with easy, even no-combat fluff campaigns.
    
    My players prefer a mix of challenging one shots (that don’t kill characters they’re attached to,) and easier, longer campaigns.
    
    I mostly set up homebrews for the campaigns- I like the world building. The current campaign uses the Stardrifter rule set, and the galactic domination has gotten far enough along they have plenty of in-world one shots. That help affect the overall story arc.
    
    The best advice i can give is two things: have fun, and make sure everyone else is having fun too. Also, contrary to popular belief… one can have too many printed terrain tiles.

    Did you say…
    
    Printed terrain tiles
    
    Printed terrain tiles?
    
    I’m honestly so thankful the printer only decided to die after I got the terrain project finished. It would’ve killed all the motivation I had to getting a game started.
    
    Thanks for the advice. My players are all well aware that I’m a baby DM and they fully expect it to be a rough, choppy campaign that’s harder for me than it is for them. But if we all have fun, the next campaign will be better, and so will the next.
