I just upgraded my G5 XR30 Blue to a G6 XR30 Blue using the led and lens kit. Light works great, except once every 48 hours it will randomly shut off and blink red. There's no timing consistency with this; sometimes in the middle of the day, sometimes middle of the night.

I ensured everything was seated properly and the thermal paste contacted properly, so I don't think it's overheating, but otherwise I've got nothing. Any thoughts?

I had my upgraded g5 to g6 happen that it shut off every day at the same time.

Well, it was annoying!

I used the Calibration button in the settings and calibrated every channel. Ever since the light works fine again.

Maybe you can try it.
