Is the ARGB controller damaged?

[SeeJay1991]

Hi!

I have TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS D

A few weeks ago I decided to do a "nice" cable management.
I turned off the power supply (PSU) and 2-3 minutes after I started to remove the ARGB plugs from the "ARGB HEADERS".

In one of the "ARGB HEADER" when removing the connector, I smelled a bad smell and ... click?
Since then my "ARGB HEADERS" don't work! Not one of the three!

Now ASUS Aura does not see any devices but also its own built-in light on the motherboard.
The strip on the board gives light "in half" - nothing can be done with it. I give a photo.

Do I have a warranty right?
I HAVE NOT PLUGGED ANY NEW ARGB HARDWARE!

You'd have to contact ASUS support regarding warranty status.

If it happened while you were pulling on the connectors it might be denied as user-caused, but if there was an underlying manufacturing flaw they may still replace the board.
