Corsair 780T Power button light

Big Boss94 · 10 Feb 2015 at 20:36

Hey guys, I've had my white 780T for just shy of four months now, bought it from here on the 28/10/14, with a ton of other parts for a build. I've had no issues with it up until recently, this morning I noticed when I booted the computer up, the power button (start/stop) isn't illuminated properly. Its barely lit and constantly flickers, including the light panel on the outside of the case above the dvd drive bays. Even after long sessions on the computer, it doesn't become the typical and constant white it should be. I've raised a ticket with Corsair and have posted on the oc3d forums, but I wondered if you guys could have any idea what the issue is?

The motherboard connections fine, I've unplugged/reseated the cables and the issues still persisting, and I'm a bit lost at what do do now, I'd really appreciate any feedback, thanks very much.

Has anyone got an idea what may be causing the issue?

Have you checked to make sure the power button light connectors are pushed all the way down on the front panel pins on the mobo?

I had very similar on my 450d after only a couple of months, and eventually the led went out completely due to a poor connection at the LED end. Raised a ticket with Corsair and they delivered a new front panel section in 24 hours, great service.

The power button light connectors are indeed pushed all the way onto the pins, reseated them, the issues still there russell.

I spoke to Grey Board through Corsair and they think I've got the same issue you had Zola, their shipping me a replacement I/O panel.

Hope it fixes it for you OP, it was straightforward enough to swap over in my case.
