    Have you tried to enable dark mode inside the bios?

    Look through the settings in the advanced tab in the bios - It is called Dark mode which turns off all the LED's

    bad cmos battery
     
    you would be the third person posting here with this issue, seems the factory may have had a bad batch of batteries?

    Hey, I cant figure out how to remove the cover to get to the battery... do I have to take the motherboard out of the case?

    pardon me, i just dont see anywhere in the article on how to actually remove the part of the m.2 cooler to get to the battery. i see how to get to the nvme but not the battery itself and what screws to actually remove. thanks

    if someone could outline in a pic which screws to take out to complete the job, that would be awesome.

    Looks like you'll have to remove all of these...
