The system of claim 19, wherein the component has a first substantially clear latch and a second substantially clear latch and respective first and second LEDs mounted beneath the first and second substantially clear latches. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein upon sensing a component failure, the system further includes a means for illuminating either the first or second LED associated with the failed component. 22. The system of claim 20, wherein upon sensing a component failure, the system further includes means for illuminating both the first and second LEDs associated with the failed component. 23. A failure identification system for a planar comprising: a diagnostic program for detecting a failed component; a dual in-line memory module (DIMM); and at least one substantially clear latch coupled to the DIMM for securing the DIMM to the planar, the at least one substantially clear latch further including a handle portion coupled to a connector portion, the connector portion being adapted to accommodate a light emitting element mounted on the planar beneath the connector portion, whereby when the diagnostic program detects a failed DIMM, it activates the light emitting element beneath the connector portion associated with the at least one substantially clear latch coupled to the failed DIMM. 24. The system of claim 23, wherein the handle portion is rotatably coupled to the connector portion. 25. The system of claim 23, wherein a first substantially clear latch and a second substantially clear latch are coupled to opposing ends of the module. 26. The system of claim 23, wherein the connector portion is adapted to fit over the light emitting element. 27. The system of claim 26, wherein an opening is provided on a bottom surface of the connector portion to accommodate the light emitting element. 28. A method for automatically locating a failed component connected to a planar, comprising the steps of: (a) providing at least one substantially clear latch coupled to a component for securing the component to the planar, wherein the at least one substantially clear latch comprises a colored latch; (b) mounting a light emitting element on the planar beneath the at least one latch; (c) detecting a failed component; and (d) activating the light emitting element, wherein the substantially clear latch is illuminated such that the location of the failed component is readily identified. 29. A method for automatically locating a failed component connected to a planar, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first substantially clear latch and a second substantially clear latch coupled to a component for securing the component to the planar; (b) mounting a first light emitting element on the planar beneath the first latch and a second light emitting element on the planar beneath the second latch; (c) detecting a failed component; and (d) activating either the first or second light emitting element associated with the failed component, wherein the first or second substantially clear latch is illuminated such that the location of the failed component is readily identified. 30. A system for identifying a failed component connected to a planar, comprising: means for detecting a failed component; a least one substantially clear latch coupled to a component, wherein the at least one substantially clear latch secures the component to the planar and is a colored latch; a first light emitting element mounted on the planar beneath the at least one latch; and means for activating the light emitting element, wherein when a failed component is detected, the light emitting element beneath the at least one latch of the failed component is activated, thereby illuminating the at least one latch of the failed component. 31. A system for identifying a failed component connected to a planar, comprising: means for detecting a failed component; a first substantially clear latch
