you need to double check the FIO board has two cables properly connected to motherboard: USB 1 and Front Panel 1. Then do a clean install of Win 10. Then install AWCC. go inside Alienware folder to look for AlienFxtester exe. Use that to confirm the FIO is talking with motherboard (it should show board version). If they are talking, then you should be able to use the tester to change lights.
Where can I find AlienFxtester.exe? Neither of the 2 AWCC listed here work on my system, which is an Alienware Area-51 7500 (the green Cyborg version).
