I did something like this once. I swapped the "power" and "status" LED silkscreen labels on 100 PCBs on a custom device. The design rules checker in my software doesn't catch labeling errors.
If you think your design is finally done.... it's not. Check it again. Go to bed, and check again in the morning. And check again in the evening.
How did you fix that? Swap the LEDs in software?
Since it's a PCB, unlikely. It's likely hardwired In the circuit. You'd need to physically change the printed label in that case
