    Hi, I have alienware with i7 4710/m290x
    I just need to know where the ribbon is located for the lights fx for the display itself. after the tech replaced the board I believe the cable was loose or no inserted fully for the "alienware" or the alien head lights. thanks!

    You could check out some YT videos to get to that part. It's attached to the motherboard, near the center.
