When I first built my PC my power LED(the left one) was working fine without any issue. A few months a go I noticed it started to become dimmer and at times it would go out, I really didn't think much of it because eventually it stopped going out. However recently I've noticed it's been happening again but this time I see it only happens when I turn it on like it takes a minute to warm up and then it works fine, if I power down my PC and turn it back on it does not do it again only if I wait a good amount of time to turn it on again. Out of curiosity I switched the HDD LED and the Power LED connections and it seems that the HDD LED is working fine which leads me to believe it is either a bad LED or a bad connection with the wire. I don't think it could be a PSU issue or Motherboard issue or else I'd probably be seeing other problems right? I mean my MOBO has LED's and those always seem fine. Has anyone else run into LED issues with Corsair cases?

I ran into the same issue when I built a gaming rig within the Corsair 350D and I found the white power LED exhibited the same problem until it just died out after 1 hour of use...so yeah it's bad QC from Corsair's end. I'm not sure what motherbarod(and system hardware) you own but if the LED's and the connectors even when flipped to run in the place of an HDD connection show no issue then your board is fine and, as you said, the LED or wiring to it is faulty.

Corsair do sell replacement parts off of their site so it may be worth looking into for a couple of dollars. Here's a list of parts available.
