    Just got my RMA-ed 8150 back from Sager but the 2 front panel LED lights for battery charging and power don't light up anymore. Anyone knows a quick fix to this? :)

    You totally nailed it :D

    There's a little white plug in the HDD bay that was dangling about in mine. Plugged it back in and lights are back on.

    Here's a photo of it: LED module indicator plug

    The laptop chassis actually looked quite slick without the lights on, which was cool. So for those who dislike the 2 little lights on the front, all you need to do is disconnect the white plug from the socket shown, it's purely a plug-in type, no need to flip any latches.
