I remember there was a light inside the case of desktops, in a corner & close to the PSU.  I have not opened any PC cases since 2015.  Now, my T3-715 is having issues & I open its case to check for the problems, I do not see any light in the case.

Is there or should there be a light inside the case of T3-715 ?

Thanks.

    Thank you.

    Are you sure?  There is not light inside PC case now?  Since when, please?

    There was a light inside PC cases of Win XP, Win Vista, Win 7, and the light is lit when the PC is switched on.

    Cool, Looks like that you've found your problem,. Replace the lamp bulb.

    It used to be standard process for a designer to put a status LED on the motherboard, just to verify that there was power connected. That is no longer the case, it is just considered a wasteful expense for a design to do that. There are motherboards with lighting, usually in the high end gaming rigs, but not by default.

    Are you kidding?  Where is the light bulb located?  It would not be bulb, so to speak, but a kind of LED indicator.  I searched with a flash light and did not find anything or any trace like it.

    "it is just considered a wasteful expense"
    Understandable.
