[SOLVED] MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio LEDs are off

[miha2]

Happy new year, everybody!

The LEDs on my MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio don't work. And I know they DO work, because they did work a couple of days ago. Until I put my computer to sleep. So I just need to find out what's causing them to go down, and how to enable them permanently.

My specs:

i7 8700K
MSI Z370 SLI Plus (<- I think this is what's causing the problem. But I'm not sure)
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory
MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio
Corsair HX850 PSU
M.2 SSD+2x HDDs

That should help you identify the cause. I'm out of ideas. The only one idea I have left is to update the VBIOS. But I don't know how to do it. I found out on MSI web site that I need to request it, and in request, I will need to provide the s/n, plus current VBIOS version, but I couldn't really find where to send the informatio to download it. Neither am I sure it will help me. Any ideas you guys can provide me?

Trying adjusting it via MSI Mystic Light App.

Tried that. Tried all different settings, nothing worked. I don't know what caused it to work.

Not sure if this will work but it's worth a shot. Turn off the system and remove the GPU from the system. Plug the monitor into the motherboard and boot up the system using the iGPU. Then turn the system off and put the GPU back in with the monitor connected to the GPU.

OK, worth a shot. I will try that some time. It's quite hard to get out of the system, as there is too little space to reach to the pcie lock. (I have the Noctua NH-D15S cooler, and 1st PCIE slot is for the GPU.) I don't want to risk to damage it by accessing it frequently, because this is the only way to get the card out (the card is enormous, and to try to reach it from under the card is... pretty useless.)

Thanks anyways for the advice.

If your careful you can use a flat tipped screwdriver to push that lever to release the GPU, I've had to do this countless times since I have big hands.
