450D led broken

[Phllips]

So one of the front led's is broken  have i not plugged something in or is it broken 

[Askew]

Is the connector connected to the power LED header on the motherboard?

 

It's down at the bottom near the front panel audio connector normally, there'll be little headers for the HDD LED and the Power LED.

Check if it is plugged in in the correct spot.

It should have small print on the wire internally telling you what it is. Use this as a reference;

Im not sure but one of them works so i thought they would be on the same plug

no, one of them is a hdd activity LED and the other is a power LED

[Phllips]

no, one of them is a hdd activity LED and the other is a power LED

what motherboard do you have? also this is one of the reasons they include this little thing:

 

makes it really easy to connect those fiddly little cables

hi !

i've bought this case and an msi motherboard(z97  gaming 3) since 3 month and during 2 months the two activity led were brighting but since one week none led works. 
i've checked the connection to the motherboard and there are corrects.

 

What can i do please ?

 

(sorry for my bad english i'm french) ^^

to be perfectly clear, the left led (the one you say is working) is the power LED, this one should be on quite brgiht while the system is powered on, the other is the HDD activity LED and only flickers dimmed whenever your HDD/SSD is being accessed.

ok but now none leds bright but when i try to connect hdd led like the picture below it works but power led no,thank you.

you should have the HDD light horizontal below the power LED? i don't know what gave you the idea to put it on the JFP2 header? the cables are labeled, so try and connect everything the way the picture says (+ and- in the right spot aswell) then power on the pc, check if the power led is on and copy a large file from your primary drive to a secondary or external device and check if the HDD led pduces any light (note: it wont be as bright as the power led...)

if you are 100% sure you haven't changed anything, and everything else still works then its most likely that the case LED's actually died... this is very rare though and extremely unlikely... another (even more unlikely) cause could be that just the front panel header on your motherboard broke... but its very unlikely only this part broke... the only other causes that i can think of would result in a lot more than just the led's breaking so i don't think thats the case...

i've tried to copy a large file between 2 hhd but nothing , i don't know if the power led is dead but the hdd led works on the jfp2 ( yes it's strange)

 

Thank you

Thank you

 the power and hdd led are basically the same however and dont have any electronics other than an led.. so if they light up/work in any sort of confguration its safe to say your motherboard header somehow broke.... 

its still very strange that your jfp1 header doesn't seem to function correctly (or at all) and everything does... if connecting it as described in your maual on jfp1 really doesn't work and the lack of power / HDD led really bothers you you can consider sending it back, as the board is most likely somehow damaged....

[unknowthing]

when all the cables are on the jfp1 just the power button and reset button woks none leds , so the problem is maybe the motherboard but it's strange because she's perfectly intact

yeah.. but i can't think of anything else because if the leds are dead then they wouldn't work on the jfp2 either

[unknowthing]

ok thank's for trying to help me !

I don't know what i can do now to solve this

[unknowthing]

a bios reset could work ?

[unknowthing]
