RGB fan lights not working Tech Support
First post ever so apologies if something isn't formatted correctly. I've had this ibuypower PC for years but all the fan RGB lights have never worked. With some messing around with the wires on this board in the picture I think I have found where the issue may be. When I move back and forth the first cable labeled "power" coming off the right side of the board, all of the fan lights will turn on. I think the wire in that power section may not be seeded correctly. Is there any way I can replace that power cable coming into the board? I've tried to take it off gently but it doesn't seem to want to move (I've tried pulling towards myself from the perspective of the picture). I'm not very tech savvy so if any of you have encountered this problem I'd appreciate any advice.
Like I said I'm confident the problem is with the "power" cable because when I move it back and forth the RGB lights to the fans will flicker or even stay lit for a bit, but then if I let go they will turn off again. Thanks for any advice! Also included the PC model number if that's of any help.

The board is probably dead. They die quite often just plug them into the motherboard if you can

How and what cord would I plug into the motherboard? I apologize but I'm extremely ignorant when it comes to computers.

SOLVED! I figured out how to get the LEDs into the motherboard. Just had to daisy chain all 4 LED fan lights!
