Mac Pro Status Indicator Light

My Mac Pro randomly forced shut down and when I rebooted the status indication light near the power button doesn’t come on anymore. The one on the back near the power cable comes on and everything else seems fine.


I did a hardware diagnostic that returned a ‘no issues found’ result.


When I unlock the case the status indicator light turns orange and sometimes pulses from white to orange so I know the light is not broken as such.


It’s a very confounding issue and such a small one it feels like overkill sending it off or taking it in for repair.


Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks!








Mac Pro, macOS 10.15

Thanks for the suggestion.


I forgot to mention that I have already tried resetting the SMC several times using the official steps as detailed by Apple and also several different variations of the sequence I've looked up online.


I also tried using your method exactly as described and that also hasn't fixed the issue.
