I got my components installed into my new case and go to fire it up and the 2 blue LEDs that are supposed to illuminate the door don't light. I check the voltage at the 4-pin molex. 5V I check at the 2-pin mini connector 5V. I check where the two are spliced together ~1.5V I remove all the protective sleeving and check the inline resistor and it measured around 100ohms. Being stupid I removed the resistor and gave the 2 LEDs straight 5V and they worked for a while 10-15seconds then the smoke came out and now I've got nothing. I don't know what the specs are on the LEDs but the 1.5V they were getting was not enough for them to emit and 5V fried them.
Has anybody else had this problem on theirs? Otherwise the case seems to be OK.
