yes mine the same not sure if its the cf card adaptor at fault you think it work whouldint you it works fine with orginal 2/12 hd so not loose wire on the little cuircuit board

Oh on another issue l was hoping to resolider 2 other cases that have broken of green wires on led but cant see how u can the spot in pcb seems to have no soldier point to fix it to just small indent where wire was

Its the CF adaptor thats at fault. Some of them don't have the traces going back to the LED so it doesnt light when accessed. There is a hack you can do which involves soldering a wire but I had a go and it is quite fiddly. http://eabmobile.abime.net/showthread.php?t=35893&page=2 . Or you can do as I did and buy one that doesn't need a hack. I got mine from a nice fella on amibay
