    The LED case lights have a + and a - wire. I assume you tried connecting the 2-pin connector rotated 180 degrees. Did you try connecting in place of a working LED to test to make sure that the LED is good?

    You cannot hurt an LED by connecting it with the wrong polarity, so if it doesn't work, just plug the connector in the other way, as JDC2000 said.

    Where are you plugging the LED in to?

    Connect the LED between either of the +'s and the - of the PWR-LED pins.

    The failure of the power LED to activate has nothing to do with operating system.
    Cheers.

    According to your N68S3+ manual,
    The coloured wire should be on either pin 12 or 13
    and
    The white wire should be on pin 14.
    Cheers.
