Red LED on X1900 XTX

[powned]

theres a red LED by the pci-e power connection on the xtx, anyone know what it means when its lit/not lit?

just that i have had problems with burn marks on the power connector.. bad connection i think. (2x molex to PCI-E) so i reached over to feel how hot it was, in doing so i moved the wires ever so slightly but i noticed this red LED suddenly come on.

googled this one and used search but surprisingly nothin (usefull) came up

its written next to the leds, ones "fault" and ones "power" i think

thx

cant make it out.. need glasses..

just used my camera, one says fault, the other says ext_power. ext_power is the one thats lit... that normal anyone?

ext_power is external power which means the PCI-E power cable is connected correctly

 

[welshtom]

yea, they should both be off!
