Well, I've read tons of threads on MSI and on the web in general. The
problem seems to be narrowed to 875p cards only. Plenty of people
with 865 chipsets found out that they just had it flipped upside down
and it works fine. My cousin has an Asus MB and only runs SATA hard
drives and his LED works fine as well. Some hard drives may have pins
on the drive itself so that you can hook the light up directly to it
but neither of my SATA drives do. Thumbs down to MSI for neglecting
this on one of their high end boards.
