Got a BareBone and a prob:

Thor Walez · Post by **Thor Walez** » Tue May 25, 2004 1:22 pm

I got this fine Shullte SN45G with a XP2500+@3000+ (400) and a NV5900XT

My prob is that the HDD LED is permanent enlighted and with HD traffic it goes brighter... Changing + and - in any possible setting won´t have helped!

What is to do next? Behind the front panel I have no access! The permant Orange LED is killing me .... *grmbl*

Dunno, to me it sounds like you have it plugged in, in the wrong spot.

So what your saying is
The light is always on and when you have hardware activity it gets brighter?

sounds like it is either made that way...or it just doesn't work the way it is supposed to...

YES so it is!

And BaLa it is not supposed to be b/c a friend of mine got the same BB just a week earlier and the HDD LED was functionally as it supposed to be: ON if traffiv and OFF if idle!

It might be your led, im not sure, your mobo could be the problem because it isnt cutting off the power to the led when theres no activity.

A small stripe of black tape will serve me well ... I can hear a little rattering ... will keep me knowing if the machine is hang up or not!!!

The thing is that the mobo and case is manufactured by shuttle - all cable (Power, usb, firewire and leds) are plugged in! ...

n/p but I am a perfectionist

Thats what my case did when I plugged it into the wrong spot... read the mobo manual carefully
