well, I just got this mobo the other day and realised that the Power light on the case is VERY dim :/ (I modified it to ultrabright blue with my old Gigabyte) and now i can't even see it if the front bezel is taken off. The HDD light dosen't even work! :eek:

is this a factory thing, or is there something wrong?

Some Epox, Iwill and Soyo boards have this sort of pb. I don't know any way around it.

Well, it sounds to me like that Epox mobo isn't supplying the required mA (milliAmps) to get the LED's to emit light.

The easiest thing I can think of (for the HDD light) is to get a 3mm LED that runs on 15mA.

Motherboard Monitor 5 or MBProbe are good. Available here: www.google.com ;)
