I know this light is super old, manufacturing date of 2014 I think. I took it off my tank about 3 years ago because it started flickering on and off, but I am again trying to fix it. It connects to ecosmart live still so I feel like it might be salvageable. And it isn't a power supply issue. Has anyone else had this problem before and are there any relatively easy fixes?
 
Can be anything really. From bad LEDs to corroded traces on clusters on the main board. I do repair these nearly daily.
 
Turns out I just had to turn off the channels red and UV which I guess were fried and were making all the other colors flicker. When I turned off those two channels, all the rest worked perfectly.
