Roger,

It may be that the driver IC for the LEDs has been damaged.  There is 5 
volts on the LEDs, but the driver IC has to bring the other lead near 
zero volts to light the LED.
If you did not work on an anti-static mat when doing the connector 
change, that may be the blame.
But just the same, re-check the soldering on the connectors you changed.
