Problem

I just received my Capybara and the blue LED does not light up. Everything else is working fine.

Solution

If everything else is functioning properly and you can hear the fan turning when you switch on the power, the most likely cause is that the Capybara received rough handling by UPS, causing the LED connector to get knocked loose. Please verify as follows:

While you have the top cover off, please check to make certain that each of the slot jumpers is firmly plugged into the slots of the motherboard. (These are small boards that are put into unused expansion card slots.) Since everything is working well, I doubt that any of these are loose, but the loose LED connector indicates that the package must have been shaken up a lot during shipping, so it couldn't hurt to just double check that the jumpers are still well seated in the slots.
