Sorry to bother everyone again, Hdd Led is not working. Have the MSI K7n2 Delta board, have the power and reset buttons working. Internal speaker is good, and the power led turns on. But the Hdd led won't work at all, I tried flipping around, and then It just stays on all the time, I'm not sure what's going on, anyone have any ideas?

I had my power Led not working at one time. I finally looked at close and noticed that it was a 3 pin connector going into a two pin. And on the wire there were only two wires but they were on each end so therefor both wires were not reaching the board. I had to strip up he connector so tha both would plug in. Check and make sure that all the wires are going to the board connector. Hope that wasn't to long and confusing.

Thanks for the info Josh, not quite my fix but it was my fault for this. I plugged the HDD led where the 2 pin power led should have gone when I switched it, it stayed on. I then reversed it in the correct position, and that is working. For some reason, some of my case wires, red vs white are backwards vs my mobo, not big problem though.
