My HDD LED does not work and I'm not sure if the culprit is the LED or MB. Is there any way to artificially light the LED or test the MB's LED functionality?

Are you sure you don't have the 2-pin HDD LED connector on the board flipped around backwards?

I've flipped it both ways, and still nothing. I doubt it blew from being flipped around because it never worked from the start.
EDIT: I just tried the HDD led it on the power connector pins, no light. I connected the power LED to the HDD LED, and it works.

Are you sure the board doesn't have the space between the two actual pins you need to land the LED connector to? Many times I've had a case with a hard drive LED connector that was three pins wide(the middle is unused) and the motherboard's hard drive LED pins were right next to each other or vice-versa. I'd grab the appropriate connector out of an old case and cut it off and reattach the appropriate one.
Yep.
