Indicator Lights have stopped working

I recently purchased a 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk external drive for my Mac and have been very happy.  Until 2 days ago, the indicator lights (showing how full the drive was becoming) have worked properly.  Then, they just stopped working.  The Memeo Backup s/w that backups were taking place with the following approx. stats - 330 GB stored, 595 GB free however the lights no longer light up.

 

Should I be concerned?

 

Thanks in advance

 

P.S.  I have been reading recently that Apple will be replacing faulty internal 1TB drives (http://www.macworld.com/article/161313/2011/07/seagate_1tb_hard_drive_imac_replacement.html).

Re: Indicator Lights have stopped working

You'll need to exchange the base unit for your drive, since there isn't anything else that can be done for it when it stops working.
