I just put together a system using a MSI 870-g45 mobo and a HEC blitz case.

The power is suppose to illuminate blue when the the computer is on, however I can not get this to happen.

The computer case has a 3 head jumper.

The mother board uses a two pin jumper on JFP1
and a three pin jumper on JFP2.

I connected the "power led" three head plug to the JFP2 socket.

When I turn my pc on the light flashed blue for a second then ceases to illuminate any further.

THe computer boots normally and everything els seems to be functioning fine.

What should I do?

Thanks guys

Flip the connection around.

- Download your boards manual here: http://www.msi.com/service/download/manual-13098.html

Go to page 26 and check the connectors for JFP1 and JFP2, Figure out wich pins the PowerLED should be on. If you found the right pins, there's only 2 possibilities to try.

Edit;
according to the manual: 3-pin power led header use JFP2 pins 1, 3 and 5.

You tried jumping the power lead pins to make sure the switch is not at fault?

I have the hard copy of this manual that came with the board.

On JFP1 I connected my plug to pins 1 and 5.

what happens is that the light flashes when the pc is turned on then never comes on again.

I connected it to the prongs both ways, blue to positive and white to ground. and vise versa.

one way the led flashes the other way there is no response.

sorry I ment JFP2

After talking to both HEC and MSI I came to the conclusion that both parties blamed it on each other and neither were willing to help.

So i jumped the power led from one of the four leds on the front fan and now it works perfectly.

Thakns for all the suggestions guys.
