HDD LED not lighting up.

So I got my new computer built today. Everything seems to be working fine, but my HDD activity LED won't light up on the case. I have two WD 160GB SATA drives on a MSI K8N Neo, in an Antec P160. I'm pretty sure I plugged the HDD LED connector onto the header right, but I switched it to make sure and it still wouldn't work. This is my first time with SATA drives, but the activity light will still blink for them won't it?

I think I got the connector on right, but I'm not positive. I'm not sure if this would be a connector problem, a mobo problem, if my LED is broken, or if it just isn't supposed to work with SATA drives. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
This happened with my case too, turns out that the solder joint broke.
 
I guess that's what happened in mine. I don't know why I didn't try this first, but I just switched the power and HDD LEDs. The power LED flashed for HDD access while the HDD LED stayed off. I guess a wire is broke somewhere, but I can't see it.
