Step 4Connect the LEDs to the parallel port
If you are using a printer cable, check the third picture for reference, otherwise, check the second.
Connect the longer lead* of the first LED to bit 1 (check the pictures mentioned above), and the shorter to any of the ground (GND) pins (it doesn't matter which one you choose). This will be the LED that will blink when you have a new notification.**
Connect the longer lead of the second LED to bit 6, and the shorter to any of the ground pins. This will be the LED that will blink when you have a new message.
To check if the notification LED is working click here (stop blinking).
To check if the message LED is working, click here (stop blinking).
If the LEDs aren't working, make sure that the LEDs are correctly inserted (try moving them a little), and that the LED Blinker is configured correctly and running.
*: If the leads of your LED have the same length then find the flat side of your LED. Connect the lead of that side to any of the ground pins, and the other to the bit pin.
**: It is possible to change that, but you will have to make a tiny change to the Greasemonkey script.

Make sure that the LED is correctly connected (does the message LED start blinking when you visit http://127.0.0.1:4012/6/on ?). Also, make sure that you're using version 1.2 or newer of the script.
Keep in mind that this will replace the new notification blink function. If you want to keep both functions, I can modify the script for you to include both functions.
Some questions:
Does the LED blink when you go to http://127.0.0.1:4012/1/on ?
When you receive a message on Facebook, does it say that you've got an unread message at the top of the page (where the friend requests and notification buttons are)?
Any errors in the error console related to my script (in Firefox, go to Tools -> Error Console and click Errors. Do that after Facebook has finished loading)?
uncaught type error: can not read property 'location' of undefined
