Need help.

Does anyone know where I might find an LED light that I can plug into my motherboard to act as the power light?

All I can seem to find are rope-lights, neon lights, and other fancy lights. all I need is a regular LED light.

Problem with most PC's are that they only have power lights now and not Hard Drive lights, so I switched the LED that was being used as a power light to be a hard drive light instead. Now of course the problem is that I have no power light.

Lozl at the no power light.

My best guess would be Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!.

I've checked there. As well as TigerDirect.

Edit: Also checked RadioShack. They have LED's but they have no cables to connect to motherboards, and they're obscenely expensive for just an LED light.

[NapalmRiot]

Ah, forgot about TigerDirect :facepalm:


NEVER get stuff from RadioShoop. They inflate their prices higher than a big breasted blowup doll.

[Deathmonkey7]

Yeah, I make it a point not to get anything from RadioShack, I was simply checking to see if they even had it.

I did manage to find one, but I'm a little iffy of the source. I'd rather see if there's one somewhere else before I get one from here:

RED LED

maybe try NCIXUS.com - Great Technology, Selection and Service.

I know you're that smart, I was just making sure EVERYONE knows that.

No luck there.

It's a standard 5V LED so why not go to any store that sells electronic components and just buy one and connect it?
Can't cost more than $0,1.

I don't know of any stores in US but if you ever decide to cross the atlantic to come and visit me I can show you to at least 5 stores the same day.

EDIT:// of course I assume you are able to solder the LED to a wire by yourself

I've got a couple of wire-looms out of old PCs. I'd be happy to shove one in an envelope and mail it you.
