Ok, so anyone who's purchased the MG 00 series models, knows that you can purchase LED Drives from Bandai.

Well I noticed a small problem back when I got my PG 00 Raiser, the LED's tend to flicker at any and sometimes no movement.

Well I'm here to show you how to fix this, and it's easier than you might think.



Ok so here's the comparison to a Non-fixed LED (Left) and my Fixed one (Right)

Here's the non-fixed, and this is why it does it, The switch's connector barely makes contact with the battery.

Put your GN Drive into the "ON" position. Now you must be VERY gentle, and slightly bend the connector towards the battery compartment. A trick I found helpful was to use one hand to hold the switch to "ON" position, and use a very small pair of tweezers to bend it.

Like I said, be VERY VERY VERY gentle with it. I haven't broken one yet, but you'll notice it's a pretty flimsy piece.

Put your GN Drive back together, and VIOLA! You should have a bright, non flickering GN drive LED!

did you bend it out far enough?

I did this on my PG and my MG 7S and they all work fine

I saw a video on youtube from rrobbert184 with the same means of fixing the flickering. It works pretty well.

I have a rig of LED bars on 45 degree angles across the back of stage and it only just dawned on me that Clarity won't let me drop these into an LED matrix on angles.

Can we please have this functionality?
