I'm assuming this is a hardware problem and I'm out of luck, but if you have any thoughts that I can try, I'm all ears (and appreciative!). Thanks.
That's a bit strange as my understanding is that the Aura ONE uses one set of LEDs that can be set to any colour and the colour is mixed and brightness adjusted. The other devices use a set of white LEDs and a set of orange/yellow/red/weak piss coloured LEDs (the last is someones description for the Sage or Libra 2). I might be wrong about the Aura ONE and that there are white LEDs plus the coloured ones.

Because of the coloured LEDs, the Aura ONE does have an extra function in the Developers options. If you turn this one, enter "devmodeon" in the search, you will have an "Developers options" at the bottom of the Device information screen in the settings. On the Developer options screen is an option, "Set Frontlight LED Manually". When you open this, you will have fours sliders, one for each red, green, blue and white. You can set each individually. Playing with these should let you see if the white is working. You can also set the colour here and read like that. But, it gets overridden when you adjust the light using the normal popup. And I really don't recommend any of the single colour modes. The red makes me feel I should be reading a grimoire, the green makes me nauseous and the blue is just weird.
