After reading a LOT online, I dove into repairing the right side general illumination. This is a common problem that arises from the under-spec molex connector frying and losing conductivity. In the pictures below you will see the burned white connector, which I replaced with the new black one from Mouser. This required only basic soldering skills.

- You can see the heat damage to the solder on the underside.
