Push 1 pads do not light up while playing, but control still works

Live Versions: All
Operating System: All

When playing Push 1, the pads and buttons are not lighting up, but actions are taking effect in Live.

This happens if the Output port setting for the Push Control Surface settings has been changed, so Push doesn't receive any feedback from Live correctly.

Change the Output port setting in the Control Surfaces section in the MID/Sync tab of Live’s Preferences to the correct one - both Input and Output should be set to Ableton Push on Windows computers or Ableton Push (Live Port) on OS X computers.
