Possible power problem

Hello, I am currently using the Qpad MK-85 keyboard.

Over the last couple of weeks the integrated LED backlights for the keys have dimmed to almost nothing, from being overly bright when I first purchased the Keyboard.

My idea is that it's possibly a power issue?

I'm using a 700w at the moment with:

Phenom 965 on stock voltage
GTX 480 on stock voltage (was overclocked but underclocking voltage made no difference)

Other than that I have 140mm, 120mm x3 fans and then just the standard other peripherals.

Now I know the GTX 480 is power hungry and haven't had a chance to test the keyboard in another PC yet but I'm pretty sure I'm no where near close to capacity on the PSU.

So my question is that, should I be looking at a power problem or possibly an RMA of the product? I guess I will find out when I try it on another setup but is it feasible that a lack of power is going to dim keyboard LED lights while I have zero issues with desktop/gaming stability.

Thanks in advance for any input.
 
Thanks for the response. I'm leaning to an issue with the Keyboard after testing on 2 other systems and still getting the same issue. Reinstalled software for good measure but to no effect.

...Sods law, as I was writing to Qpad support everything lit up. So it's on hold for now, must be a dodgy connection or something :/
