Alienware Aurora R2 "HEAD1" LED not working
As stated in the title, the HEAD1 LED or the alien head on the front will not light up. I took the entire case apart to completely dust it out outside, spring cleaning if you will. After rebooting the front facing HEAD1 LED will not respond. It is still recognized in CC and the lead going into the board is in solid.
This computer is not under warranty, i have completely replaced the motherboard, CPU, and graphics inside it, this is more about the Alienware case at this point as there is no stock hardware left in it aside from the fans. The only thing i did when replacing everything was what was on the motherboard, so i assume that all of the lights and everything are still managed by the USB(X) port that they are connected too.
I am pretty knowledgeable with hardware and what i am looking for, any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,

MIO-Board controls that.
Wires are very thin and delicate. Check wires on plug and back of alien-head itself.
Suppose it might also be a software problem. Delete AlienFX Theme and create a new one. And/or uninstall Command Center, reboot and re-install latest (ie, clean install).
