Does ECS K7S5A onboard LAN have a light when it is on?

[dodo]

Just wonder whether I should see a light when the onboard network card is working? I lost my internet connection. But the network status likes fine from Device manager.

Thanks a lot!

If you connect a light to the Onboard LAN LED header on the mainboard, then yes. Else no, obviously.

why "obviously"? ive seen several motherboards with onboard lan that have two little leds built into the lan port



**edit** but i have no idea if the k7s5a is one of them

^ I'm pretty sure it does have those lights on the NIC port itself. And even if the mobo is powered off, the light(s) will stay on as long as the network cable is plugged in. Unless you turn off the switch on the power supply itself, or unplug it.

It doesn't. I have one here right next to me.

JP2, near the connector block. Pins 1-2 Link LED, pins 3-4 100 Mbit LED.

Am I the only one here who's reading manuals?
