I recently upgraded my motherboard to the Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 because my old Asus M2N-e died. Everything works perfectly but the front panel remains unlit.

Is this the front panel on your case, with HDD and power lights etc...? Try pulling all of the header connections out and re-connecting them, as LEDs are polarity conscious and will only work one way round.

Alright, I'll try that when I need to shut down or whatever... And by the way, I'm talking about the LED "Teeth" on the front door.

Wow, I feel so stupid. WindowsGeek opened up the case and searched through the jumble of cords and found the front panel LED. Turns out, it wasn't plugged in this whole time! >_<
