So, I have an old computer case that I love (Apevia X-Discovery), but one of the problem I had was the lights on the front went out (the computer has two vertical strips of LED lights on the front). Well, I traced the problem close to the Molex plug. It seems that at some point in time, this maybe overheated and burned a hole through the insulation (which appears to be shrink wrap). I'm not sure what the connection to the wires look like underneath, but I'm assuming I can strip some insulation off the wires and reattach it.
But my real question is, what do you think caused this? I can tell you that I have a bunch of wires crammed into the bottom of my computer behind the GPU bracket, so that might be a clue, but I'm not sure.
Do any of you have some know-how to give me some ideas as to what happened? I just want to prevent this from occurring again (more to avoid a fire than a light outage).
Thanks. And speaking of, Happy Thanksgiving to all.
