    I just completed putting together a New bare bones area-51 m17x-r1 and when I push the alien head start button the keyboard lights up and the alien head has flashing eyes. The LCD is still black.I think I should at least be getting the bios screen. Could the CPU be bad maybe? Or am I missing something?

    And also the other area-51 m17x-r1 (skull cap) I have lights up all the way around the LCD. This one doesn't.It is a Ripley.
