I can't figure this one out.
Only the wireless LED works out of the whole group under the screen and none of the LEDs on top of the lid work either.
I replaced the inverter which did nothing, so I'm back to square one. They have never worked since I got the laptop used.
All other functions and dedicated buttons work
Anyone else come across this or have any ideas?
Thanks (again) in advance.

It could be the LCD cable, but that is unlikely. It is most likely the motherboard. If it is the motherboard, it is either a fuse or a more basic problem. The fuses can be replaced, but it requires better equipment than a "radio shack" soldering iron.

Yep it was the cable, I got a used one from eBay now all the LEDs are up and running.
