HDD LED doesn't work with SATA?

I just built this system last week and installed a Maxtor 160GB SATA drive and the led on the case doesn't light up when the HDD is in use. Is this a board problem or SATA problem?

MSI 875 Pro Neo FIS2R - HDD-LED doesn`t work

Hello,
yesterday I got my new MSI 875 Pro Neo FIS2R.
Installation of motherboard and Windows XP went without any problem. So I`m very satisfied with this Board.
But now I noticed, that the HDD-LED doesn`t show any activity.
Then I turned around the HDD-LED plug of the Case with again no success: The HDD-LED doesn`t shine...
My (IDE-)storage-components are:
Primary Master: NEC DVD-ROM
Primary Slave: NEC DVD-RW
2 x WD Raptor (SATA) as RAID0 (ICH5R)
Is there anything wrong ? What can I do ??

I already tried turning around the cable, but it didn`t help.
Therefore I was asking myself, why the HDD-LED didn`t show any LED activities at all (DVD-ROM should work)...

I truly wonder have you read my reply?
Hello Maesus,
yes, I read your reply. But it didn`t answer my question, why HDD-LED don`t show any DVD-ROM activities (remember, DVD-ROM is IDE-primary master and DVD-RW is primary slave)...

The HDD LED doesn't work !! Any Idea ?

Hi everyone ..
I have MSI Neo Platinum Mainboard , I installed a S-ATA Harddisk only on the Mainboard , no ATA , but the HDD LED on the Case doesn't work .. There is no Light ... Is this light only for ATA Harddisks wich are installed on IDE ??
Any idea plz ?

Exactly...reverse the polarity at the connection....or your HDD activity LED is toast...I've bought new cases where those things just did not work.

HD Led not working with SATA drives on MSI K7N2 Delta

I noticed the HD led does not work with the SATA drives on my MSI K7N2 Delta ISLR
I confirmed that the led is not burnt out by reconnecting a spare IDE HD with XP on it to IDE 1 and the led worked when there was activity, but it does not work when connected to IDE3 or if the SATA drives are connected to Serial 1 & 2.
Could it be because the motherboard doesn't support and hdd led for the Promise SATA controller.
I had Bios v7.3 and flashed to v7.4 with no luck.
Could a new bios update fix this problem?
Anybody seen this before?

basically it not wired up so works for no one

Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
Thank you!!!

Also doesn't work with Grapher (.gcx) documents (an Apple format).

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed:    Yes
MSI:    No
Bus:    PCI
Slot:    Slot-2
Vendor ID:    0x1095
Device ID:    0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x1095
Subsystem ID:    0x3132
Revision ID:    0x0001
Link Width:    x1
Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your time

Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

Lenovo G565 dont work with SATA II ?....BIOS limited ?

I bought the lenovo G565.
But that does not support SATA II?
My Hitachi SATA HD in SATA II works in SATA I !
The BIOS limits the use of SATA?
With SiSoft Sandra software is that the motherboard can work with SATA III !
chipset installed : AMD RS780/880
CPU Phenom II triple-core N830
Bios upgrade ?
Thank.

i don't think bios update will solve your issue. it's about hardware support and it seems your g565 doesn't support sata 2 interface.

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

What have you tried?
You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android phone worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work. What is apple doing to fix this.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

Satellite M40-129: PCMCIA Card doesn't work with Linux

I have D-Link DWL-G650 with Atheros Chipset which is good supported under linux (madwifi). But if I boot Linux the card is not found. I tested the card with an Fujitsu Siemens Notebook and it worked out of the box!
Any idea why it doesn't work with my M40-129 ?

Hi
Like you know Toshiba doesnt support the Linux and there are no Toshiba drivers for the Linux OS but I was able to find this useful Toshiba page about the notebook configuration with Linux:

You should check the OS machine compatibility and the other areas.
Im sure you will find many useful tips.
Good luck

HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password. One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses. Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse. I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password. One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption. If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
There are two options:
stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.
