Case power LED was flickering, now its not as bright

[Phil2008]

The power LED on my FD Define R3 case has been flickering for about a week now, and it has gone dim, but still flickering (goes dim for a faction of a second every so often). It could be just the LED or something more serious. What do you think guys?

The LED actually at this brightness is good

Its just brightened up again

If it's anything like my XL was, I'd unplug it

Could be just a bad connection, doubt it would be anything sinister like board problems

loose connection, disconnected mine as it lights the room rather annoyingly, wish manufacturers would realize its an indicator light not a torch.

Ive knocked the case and it doesn't seem to effect it at all. Im thinking PSU could be on its way out, as its about 4-5yr old now, but Im not having any probs gaming?

Wouldn't have thought a PC will soldier on if the PSU is dicky enough to dim the power LED

My Fractal was illuminating the whole room, no good for 24/7 use so he got unplugged
