Hey all...I just noticed that the LED on the front door to my case went out. Is there a semi-easy fix? Or should I just pretend it doesn't exist?
It's a Fudin ATX868WBP
Thanks....

you can replace the if it burned out, but it might be the header that slipped off.
LED's cant burn out unless the people who made them suck.
Surprisingly the quality of LED's has very little to do with the sexual orientation of the manufacturer, however I'd say that anyone sucking on an LED would likely cause it to fail if not 'Burn out' as stated. If, however, the inferance is that the manufacturer can suck anywhere, even physically removed from the LED itself, and cause said LED to burn out is a tenuous one at best. It's an interesting theory though.Originally Posted by timmer
Replace it with another one.

If you were just in the case check the headers. LED can burn out if to much power is put through them. Other wise they would just be slapping them in anyware.
Wrong, LEDs can burn out if too much voltage is put through it. There is a difference between Power and Voltage. But LEDs will eventually be come dull over time.Originally Posted by Malatory

There is no other choice.
Thanks for all the lovely replies! But as you can see, I am posting in the 'Rookie' section...I have no idea what a 'header' is...? I tried unscrewing the housing where the lights are and for fear of breaking the darn thing, stopped at that point...
I don't think it is a voltage problem...the whole thing is about 2 years old..
If you aren't sure what case I am talking about, here's a link to a similar one...

Hopefully it is still active when you look...
You guys are all probably saying to yourselves...'Darn newbies always bothering us with petty questions...!!'
Thanks again....
my friend had the same problem recently. if this is a similar situation, its not the hdd led or the power led, its a cosmetic led that is prolly connected to a 4 pin molex somewhere. if thats the case, youll prolly have to open up the front panel that houses the led and see whats wrong. im guessing theres a broken wire somewhere. did it just suddenly die or did it get dim or flicker first.
I just noticed it went out kind of suddenly...? I am hoping it's not the wires that connect from the door to inside the computer....I could see how they could get pinched or bent everytime the door is opened and closed....
I am not exactly certain if I can just pop out the 'Z' emblem disc and see how it ticks, or if it's all glued and junk...?
I feel like such a geek, getting all fussy over a silly little light....
