Hello

Need advice
All of sudden my GL-MT1300 lost its while led light.
If I reboot it goes as it should, fade in/ fade out, but when it supposed to change to just white light - it just turns off. Modem works as expected (I think), but led is black.

What should I check?

Thank you

If there is a time schedule for LED to turn off and on?

If not, please try resetting the firmware to eliminate software issues

If not after resetting, probably the white LED bead that is broken

Hello Bruce

Thank you for your response.
I do not have any schedule for led.
I dug a bit deeper and found few shell scripts that helped a lot

  1. gl_mt1300_led_daemon - this script does periodically ping google dns + other dns to check internet availability and set appropriate status. Then it executes mt1300_led.
  2. mt1300_led this is just LED light manager - it manages light color and type.

So what I did was: I turn gl_mt1300_led_daemon off:
/etc/init.d/led stop

Then I turn all light off:
mt1300_led off

Then I check that blue light works:
mt1300_led blue
and it did work so I turn it off

Then I turn white on:
mt1300_led white
It does work but only one LED out of 3 (I suspect or it was the lowest brightness) and not all the time, some time it blinks.
Some time I saw all of them (or full brightness), some time only one (lowest brightness), but mostly none.

Then I just turn led daemon on again: /etc/init.d/led start

So I have a question to Support: do I have any warranty, because it is obvious white LED issue? Can I swap this modem? Or may be trade it so you will get this one and I will buy new model?

I like it very much actually and I need one.

Thank you in advance

Incredible, you also found these startup scripts in the system! Thanks for your updates.

If the device is still during the warranty period, you can contact my colleagues support@gl-inet.com, and cite this thread.
