I recently built a computer using the corsair obsidian 750d as my case. Sometimes, the rIght LED light is blinking. It is rarely FULLY on and it is most likely always off. I watched a youtube video and that guy's 750d also had only one led light working. Is it supposed to work like this?

link (at 0:50 you can see only 1 led light is working):

Solution
That led isnt the HDD led? If it is, it lights only when hdd is used.

Copy some filles from somewhere to anywhere if it lights when the filles are copied then it is the hdd led

I had the same question. When power is on, only the left light on the power button is on, just like in the video you posted (great example, BTW). I just booted to bios will let you know once I start using hard drive, if the right LED starts to blink, because i definitely connected a HDD light to the front panel connecters in my mobo.

As Dragos said, the right light is a "saving to hard drive" indicator. The left light is on when the power is on. The right light will only blink a bit on temporarily when you are saving to your hard drive. It will typically be off unless you are saving a huge file or something. It doesn't matter if you are using SSD or HDD, it should work either way (I am using SSD only).

They could do a better job making this clear in their documentation, it is actually not explained at all in my manual that came with the tower.

Also, shouldn't the title of this thread be 'right LED' not 'left LED'? Just sayin :)
 


In his last video it is working so he fixed it :)
