    Out of curiosity try switching the color to "Blue" and see if it lights up.

    I have a m15x R1 that the logo will ONLY light up Blue even if I make a new profile in the FX editor. If I select any other color it will not light up initially. I find though if I leave it on for 10 minutes then the other color will work as it sort of "warms up". Probably a lose connection somewhere.
