No HDD LED on MSI 645 Ultra

Just putting the new system together. The hard drive is an older 8.4GB IBM ATA33. Case is FS-710BB (Antec) with Enermax power supply. Motherboard is MSI 645 Ultra. No matter which way I orient my HD LED connector, I get no light coming out. Does this have anything to do with and ATA33 drive running on the ATA100 controller/cable? Any way to test the LED's functioning? Major bummer because I love this case but also sucks to not be able to tell when the hard drive is running. Suggestions and comments welcome.

I'm setting up a system with the same board and have no problems with the HDD LED. The positive wire (red) is facing the front of the case. It could be that the LED on the case is dead, or the wire is broken somewhere.
 
OK, it was too late last night when I was working on this. This morning I ripped a HD led out of an old case and .... VOILA! it worked. So my shiny new case has a bad HD led. No big deal, I'll just make fixing it my first case mod -- make it neon or something. Thanks for the suggestions
