Hey guys, So I had a power surge which luckily the surge protector caught. However, since then I've had an orange light on the motherboard. It's situated just above a 4 pin connector which is connected to case USBs on the front via a splitter. I've attached a photo, I'm stumped in all honesty. It's not a software issue, PSU seems to be fine, no boot issues, no GFX issues, all system specs reporting back in Win 10, so I'm baffled, but also nervous.

It seems to be a backup LED. The ASUS representative mentioned this in the discussion.

I checked the manual and identified the backup LED. It wasn’t lit before the surge and turned on afterward. I’m unsure how to disable it.
