yesturday when i turned my pc on, the HDD LED was on for the whole time, it is not 100% bright, but i can tell it has little power , it is flashing slightly, i unplugged all my hdds but it was on. what is going on?

If you boot with all the drives removed and the HD light is on then I would blame the mobo. I would default the mobo by shorting the pins and boot again with no HDs to see if that clears it.

 

I'm assuming that this has been working for a while and then failed, and the HD LED has a dedicated pair of wires to the mobo header.

No, corrupt the OS maybe but not damage the mobo.
