I had recently purchased a Raidmax Smilodon Mid-Tower ATX Case. At first, the three LED lights on the front panel door were green (the ones that look like three claws), however now just the middle one is flashing faintly red. I've shut down and restarted and checked the cable connections but everything seems normal. Does this light indicate something? What is wrong?

Here is a link to the case I own.

Dont you watch action films? Its either a listening device or a bomb - its more likely to be a bomb if it makes a faint beeping noise when it flashes....

Are you sure its not the HDD LED? i couldnt see where that is from the website? try disconnecting it from the MB and see what happens....

Just happened upon this thread; in case you haven't solved it yet, it's definitely that the power cable to the front LED has become disconnected or otherwise non-functional. I have the exact same case and disconnected said cable on purpose, and am getting exactly the phenomenon you describe. I got tired of the green LED lights and just wanted them to go away, but now I have to deal with this blinking red crap...>_<
