Hi....I am working on the ST with the lighys in the room turned off...and have the screen colors reversed to WhiteText on B;ack and am logged in to the school computer.... Just noticed that the Green LED on the Mega4 "flickers" very very lightly which is noticable in the dark..... I assume such light flickering is usual for LEDs BUT every 15-30 seconds the LED flashes once or twice almost as bright as for "Drive Busy" state. AND...the frequency of flashing is higher if I randomly move the mouse around! Mysteries of the Unknown? Imran

Someone posted to the net about this a long time ago, I cannot remember the explination, but the conclusion was that the flickering is harmless, and does not indicate something about to blow up.
