Got a new case set-up (NZXT Switch 810-W)and all is perfect except the back lights worked for half a day then just stopped working.

There doesn't seem to be problem with the cable from the front panel to the back and is connected fine, with no damage to the lights.

The lights are only connected to the front panel where it looks like it share's the connector for the reset button.

and the reset button work's fine connected to the mobo reset sw.

So any ideas as to why it may have stopped working?
 
I highly doubt that the lights would share any connection with the motherboard, except perhaps for fan headers. Usually the lights are powered with molex connectors or fan headers.

I rewired by CM690 II's light switch so that it switches our fan's lights too. :D Unfortunately I don't know how the wiring is done with your NZXT case.

I'd say make sure that all your power connectors are properly plugged in. You can perhaps unplug them and plug them in again just to be 100% sure.
Secondly, check if the case doesn't perhaps come with a light switch that you accidentally pressed...
 
It shares the connection to the front pannel with the reset button (2-wires from reset button and 2 from lights into one 4pin connector) will upload some picks later to show.

Checked the cable with a multimeter it is definitly getting power up until the actual lights which leads me to believe the lights have blown? but why would that happen in 1 day?

BTW the case is awesome just don't like the fact that the top is plastic. :sick:
