AC indicator light stuck on?
I pulled apart my HP dv6t 6000 Quad Edition last night to clean a year's worth of dust accumulation out of it. While I was quite impressed at how sturdy the construction of the laptop was (22 good, strong screws holding in the top cover alone), I put it back together and the orange indicator light is stuck ON (the one that says if the AC cable is plugged in or not) even if it's not plugged in! So, I pulled it back apart and re-checked the power connector cable, and everything was fine and in place... does anyone have any idea why this is happening? It goes on even if the laptop is turned off... as long as the battery is in, that orange light turns on. The orange light is only supposed to come on if the AC is plugged in and the battery is charging.
Also, if I plug in the AC cable, it light turns off. I never actually removed the power connector cable from the system board, so there's no way it got turned around. Could this be caused, however, if another plug somewhere got turned around?
Anyone got an idea of what's going on?
For further reference, here is the manual I used.

I went as far as removing the system board.
Items I DID NOT remove are as follows:
Power button board
Fingerprint reader board
Speaker assemblies (front and back)
(my laptop has no bluetooth module, so that's irrelevant)
USB Board
Power connector cable
