wi-fi catcher, no lights

I just got my 1525 last week and I noticed that the wi-fi catcher NEVER lights up. I've updated the driver for my Intel 4965 card, uninstalled and reinstalled dell quickset, made sure that wi-fi catcher is enabled both in quickset and bios.

When I turn on/off the switch, the wi-fi icons show up on my screen. When I use the switch to search, I do get the box showing available networks. Everything is working fine except there are no lights whatsoever.

Is it possible that maybe there is an extra wire for the light that has come loose? Any one else had this issue and was able to resolve?

Thanks.

 

Its probably just that all those WiFi networks are password protected. The light won't come on unless there is a public network available.

 

The Wi-Fi Catcher only lights up when your computer is shut off. So it not lighting up when it is on for you is normal. It makes sense though. If your computer is on and you flick the switch, you look at the screen to see if and what available networks are there. But if your computer is off, you have nothing to show you what (if any) networks are available. That's where the light comes in.
