Is there a way to replace the white LED on the power button on a Dell wyse 5070? It just stopped working and it's a headless system so it helps to know if the unit is on or off.

You could desolder it and solder a new one on, or possibly even solder one on top of the existing LED. Same as replacing any other on-board component.

I'm thinking that the LED is part of the switch and might not be easily replaced. Take a look and see if it's replaceable.

You can rig another led in the case or something USB with a led. https://www.ebay.com/itm/403893218638

The 5070 I'm looking at right now has a red LED on the SSD.
