A1200 HDD light not working

[dangermouse]

Hello all

Dug my A1200 out of the closet and noticed that the HDD light is not working. I opened her up and checked the connector was on the mobo properly (it was) and check the wires and they appear fine.

I then opened up my other 1200 and borrowed the LEDs from that one to use in the suspect 1200 and the same thing..no HDD LED even though the HDD LED works fine in the 'other' 1200 with the very same LEDs.

So...I'm wondering if this is a known fault with 1200s? The system has an Indivision AGA installed, BPPC and CF card as a hard drive. The system itself is running fine..boots up into 3.9 without any trouble at all. The only thing not working is the HDD LED which, although not critical by any means, is damn annoying.

Can anyone shed any light on what this might be?

Many thanks

You're absolutely right mfilos. Connected the pins and the HDD LED works. Funny thing is the 1200 that worked fine has got exactly the same CF adapter that the non-working one does...so it seems that with those adapters (identical to the one in your forum link) some work and some don't.

Thanks all for the replies..problem solved
