GPU PCIE power led

I have a 6 yr old GTX 1080 strix. Running totally fine but I noticed the 6 pin power led on the GPU does not turn on anymore. The 8 pin power led is fine but faint already. I cleaned the surface, changed the cables. Did a power test on the PSU (seasonic 850W Ti). Everything is fine except for this one led. Also did some stress test (GPU, CPU) under AIDA64 for a couple of minutes. Checked voltage readings via HWinfo and they seem fine. Could it be just the led that got busted?

Could just be a dead LED, if you have a multi-meter and fine tipped probes you can check for voltage at the edges of the LED to confirm it's just dead, but if the card is otherwise working normally, using the normal amount of power, etc it's probably not an issue.
