Hello.. I'm pretty sure I hooked up the HDD Led wire properly to my Epox 8K7A board, with the 0 pin aligned and all (the power sw, reset and other switches all work).
I have 2 hard drives on the first IDE channel.
Any ideas?

Take the front bezel off
take the bulb out
bend the little leads a bit and put it back together

Just try flipping the connector over on the mobo.. LEDs only work one way.. if that doesn't work, you may have a bad LED.. you can pick up a replacement at your favorite local electronics shop. Just get something in between 1.5v and 5v (3mm BTW)and you should be good to go.

I had to flip mine around to get it to work, even though the manual said to do it the other way.

Thanks guys.. flipping it worked.
I remember trying it when I set up my system and it didn't post. Musta been something else.
