Hey guys.

Just got my pc back from Overclockers for a repair. The power cable connecting to the graphics card had fried and melted.

Everything is good so far but the case led lights are just stuck on a very light cyan blue colour while the computer is running. It looks corrupt and isn't what it was before.

Also, when I turn the computer off the lights also stay on. This isn't what happened before the repair. They stay on until about five to ten seconds after I unplug the system at the mains.

It's not a massive problem for me honestly and I don't want to return it, but Its a very expensive system and I paid extra for the lighting so I'm just wondering if there's a simple fix anyone can suggest? I'm not very skilled in hardware as you can probably tell.

Thanks, Matt.
 
Not familiar with the case how do you control the light's / colour scheme via case buttons or motherboard software ? i know if mine is enabled in the software the argb case buttons don't do anything, Aura sync overrides it.

You could probably change that behaviour in the BIOS, but it depends on what is controlling the lights (it would need to be the motherboard).
 
I would get in touch with OCUK again, they may be able to talk you through fixing it.

If it has to go back then so be it, you paid a lot of money for the PC and the last thing you want to do is void the warranty.

I know almost nothing about RGB, but the lights staying on for a few seconds after unplugging from the mains will be residual power from the PSU.
 
Thank you guys, I'll shoot them another email over now. I did have a look in BIOS and it seemed ok, but I don't really get what I'm looking at.

thanks again.

Yes I was thinking this, but this wouldn't be harmful to the system? I can't imagine how it would.

If it is not residual power, then some motherboards have the option to keep power to the LEDs after the system is turned off with the button or through the OS and you can disable this manually, the same way you can for leaving power enabled to USB devices.
