USB flash stick activity lights don't work 800D

[hadlowj]

Hi. This might be a stupid question with a simple answer but I cant find it.

 

I have almost finished my system with one problem. When i plug a flash stick in the front pannel USB ports the activity lights on the USB sticks don't work.(works with other systems i checked)

 

This is my system specs if that helps:

 

Obastian 800D case

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7

Intel i7 920

Corsair 6GB TR3X6G1866C9DF RAM @1866

western digital caviar black 640gb hard drive

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

 

This is a small problem but i would like to be able to sort it.

 

Thanks

I would check the front panel header and look at the motherboard header. Unless you have them turned off in the bios for the usb front panel?

Does the drive light up when plug it directly into the motherboard (at the back of the case)?

Hi. Yes it does light up when I put it int direct. What do I check in the BIOS to see if I have disabled it.

 

Thanks

Can you access the flash drive in windows explorer when it is plugged in the front?

[hadlowj]

yep everything works on all flash drives when I plug them in the front pannel. Its just the lights that do not.

 

thanks

Check in the bios for anything that deals to USB speed and make sure that it is set to the fastest speed. Ive seen problem like yours before when you are using a USB 2 device and the usb ports are set to a slower speed.
