Z490 Taichi IO shield LED not working

   Woke up today to the entire IO panel LED not working. I've only owned this MOBO since July 25th. I don't expect LED to last ages but lasting only a couple of months is ridiculous. And the entire panel going instead of just 1 or 2 LED burning out here and there is inexcusable. After doing some research people are claiming Asrock is putting the LED too close to heat sources. If true this is really embarrassing for Asrock. MOBO LED is not exactly rocket science. MOBO companies have been using LED for "ages" now.

	Now I wake up today and they've magically healed. Before I had tried restarting. Fully shutdown and restarted. Tried changing color modes. Turned off all LED and back on. lol Did the old school fix the TV by banging on it by flicking the IO with my finger. Nothing I did made it light. Does anyone know how MOBO LED are wired? That seems like a loose wire or a short of some kind.
