Notification LED not turning on and fails test
asked 2014-01-13 18:31:36 +0200
I edited the ini file some time ago to customize the LED patterns and had no problems with it, the edited file worked fine. However, since a couple days ago the LED has not been turning on anymore when it should, for example for charging or when I receive a message.
I have tried the following:
- LED test in CSD Tool: Fail, tested before, after and in between all changes
- Reboot: LED turns on, white, for a few seconds at the start of booting, then off again; above test fails
- Restore original ini, restart mce.service: still fails test, remains off
- Manually set the brightness from /sys/class/leds/... : LED turns on as it should
Clearly there is nothing wrong with the hardware as each of the colours works (red, green and blue tested). The ini file I restored is the completely unedited original file that I kept as a backup. Yet somehow the LED won't respond when it should.
Any further debugging ideas or ways to restore the functionality? I'd hate to manually turn on the led every time I get a message...
Edit: Fixed typo.
This is what I have in the folder, bolded file has the edited patterns that I thought may be the problem. I have not touched the other files. Does something look suspicious?

all the files in the dir will be loaded, so check for any extra files, e.g. editor backups there? (I assume mcd was just a typo)
sp3000 ( 2014-01-13 22:53:25 +0200 )edit@ottulo, have you had any luck getting your led back? I tried and re-tried the fix given by @Mohjive in his answer, but I still get no led notifications, and csd test fails...
ssahla ( 2014-01-19 21:56:33 +0200 )edit@ssahla Sadly, no. I tried the solutions below, but had no luck. I'm hoping we might get some other hints, as I am not too keen on doing a factory reset.
ottulo ( 2014-01-19 22:12:36 +0200 )edit@ottulo, me neither. I thought I'll see if the next system update fixes this before resorting to a factory reset.
ssahla ( 2014-01-19 22:18:22 +0200 )editSame issue for me as described above. White LED blinking for few seconds while booting. No other LED turns on or is blinking at all afterwards. Solution provided below didn't work. I did not any customizing or editing files on OS Level. For sure it is not a hardware issue. Waiting for next update?
