    After replacing the lower cover of X60s the LEDs at the bottom of the screen are dead. (These are battery/AC, hard drive, wireless, caps lock, etc. green LEDs)
    The laptop works fine otherwise.
    1. Is this a hardware or a software issue? I suspect the former, but windows was finding some 'new hardware' when I turned it on, so a lost driver is possibile.
    2. If it is a hardware problem, which cable powers the LEDs? Is this the ribbon cable that goes to the rest of the screen, or is it one of the individual wires hidden in the hinges?
    This is my first post here- I hope these questions are appropriate.
    Thanks!
